As part of the Great Prairie Area Education Agency, Cardinal Community School District has created both a classroom and several learning lounge spaces at the Middle/High School building.
Cameron Chamberlin, technology director at Cardinal Community School District in Eldon, Iowa, recently worked with Lindgren to deploy the Room 21C concept in his district. By knocking down a wall and converting two classrooms into one large space, they created a similar setup to Room 21C: five stations with 50-inch digital displays and writeable surfaces. Chamberlin agrees with Lindgren that teachers need special training to get the most out of these new technology rooms.
âWeâve been working with the teachers to take some of the concepts they learned in teaching in these new rooms and bring them back to the main classrooms,â Chamberlin says, pointing out that, eventually, more rooms like 21C will be added and as many classrooms as possible will convert to the 21st-century teaching techniques.
