I am overseeing the repurposing of an elementary school that was originally built in the 60's. It is now becoming an education training center. The other day, I peered into one of the old classrooms and it was empty- completely empty. No desks, tables, chairs, closets, bookcases, bulletin boards, whiteboards, shades, blinds, cabinets, or sinks. Nothing. Bare walls. No carpeting. Nothing.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Seeing the empty space it made me think...what would I want to put in this physical space. It was overwhelming at first but then my brain started working.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Today the show is about what you would put in the physical space. By the way, I ask you to forget technology right now and just focus on the furniture.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So what would be important to you if a magic genie came along and gave you three wishes to fill this room to get ready to work with the kids? </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What would you wish for?</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for listening.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://teachinglearningleadingk12.podbean.com/e/144-11-wants-for-my-perfect-classroom/">Checkout Episode 144 for my talk about 11 Wants for My Ideal Classroom</a></span></p><br> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Length: 13:58</span></p>
