Classroom technology should be organized in a manner which the teacher and students are using it to it's full capability in learning. To benefit the classroom's organization teachers can arrange the classroom with easy accessibility, a physically safe set up, effective use of physical resources, a way which benefits special needs students, meet the needs of the teaching and uses the available technology to it's full capability in learning. Students can benefit the classroom's organization by taking a role in adjusting the classroom's arrangement and environment in a way that benefits their classmates and their own learning and suggests ways to incorporate the physical resources and classroom technology in the lessons. A easy way to get students involved like this is having them suggest or set up the furniture for their group work in a way that benefits their learning and collaboration.
