The Versatile Classroom

The traditional classroom setup today is similar to what it was at the birth of public education and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But today we often have other needs or want to try different activities in our classroom, but our cumbersome seating doesn't easily allow it.

This year a number of classrooms at AVHS have been outfitted with "node chairs" and they can make for easy reconfigurations on the fly!

Take a look at the interactive image below to see some of the things that the node chairs can make easy in the classroom.
