Sounding Off About Acoustics! 🔊 Let’s talk about how the sounds around us shape our learning spaces! Good acoustics can turn a noisy, chaotic environment into a productivity powerhouse, while bad acoustics can send stress levels through the roof. Ever tried focusing in a room with a constant hum or echo? Exactly… not fun! Too loud? It’s distracting. Too quiet? It can feel oddly unsettling. It’s all about balance! Some of us need noise-canceling headphones to concentrate, while others thrive in a bustling café. And in classrooms, it’s no different. Getting the sound just right can make or break a learning space! So, what’s your sound preference? Do you need peace and quiet, or a little background buzz to stay focused?

Plus, students can learn to run the technical side of things! Let’s make every performance unforgettable! #SchoolStars? 🌟👩🎤👨🎤 #StageUpgrade #NextLevelPerformances #SchoolPride

📚 Optimizing Classroom Lighting 📚 Classrooms serve as dynamic environments, accommodating a range of activities from reading and writing to presentations and tests. To support these diverse needs, it's crucial to have a flexible and efficient lighting solution. Modern classroom layouts benefit from uniform lighting that adapts to various activities. Special attention should be given to areas like whiteboards, where specialized lighting can significantly impact visibility and presentation quality. Asymmetrical wall- or ceiling-mounted wall washers are ideal for illuminating boards and presentation areas. Additionally, effective lighting for teachers is essential—soft, directed light at approximately 45° helps ensure their expressions and body language are clearly visible to students. The Glamox C21 luminaire is specifically designed to meet these needs. With its asymmetric light distribution, this slim, aluminum fixture features advanced LED technology and lens precision. Installing the C21 above a whiteboard guarantees adherence to international lighting standards, providing 500 lux with a uniformity ratio of 0.7.

Some of our favorite sensory products that can be added to (almost) any classroom: 👉 Weighted lap pad 👉 Wiggle cushion 👉 Noise cancelling headphones 👉 Deep breathing visuals 👉 Velcro fidgets attached underneath desks/tables/chairs . What's your favorite sensory tool for the classroom?! 👇 Let us know in the comments 👇 . . . #almostfall #summerdays #schooldays #sensorystrategies #classroom

Reducing background noise in classrooms is essential for an optimal learning environment. Noise from traffic, hallway chatter, and classroom activities hinder students' speech understanding, reading, and concentration. Simple modifications can improve acoustics, such as adding rugs, hanging curtains, and placing soft materials on walls to absorb sound. Turning off noisy equipment, replacing light fixtures, and using soft tips on chairs and tables also help. These changes benefit students with hearing impairments and attention problems and help teachers avoid vocal strain.

𝐀 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤!🎤📽️ Here are two videos showcasing the Reverberation Time (RT) in a Classroom and a Meeting Room, captured by simply clapping hands.   𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 1️⃣ Before installing wall-mounted acoustic absorption panels. 2️⃣ Newly installed carpet on floors. 3️⃣ Reflective furniture.   These examples highlight how excessive RT impacts the functionality of these spaces: 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬: Reduced speech intelligibility and affects the quality of audio-video recordings, essential for education and training. 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦𝐬: Poor audio clarity, impacting both in-room discussions and virtual communication during recordings or calls.   🔍 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬: 1️⃣ Carpet alone is often insufficient for sound absorption in classrooms, especially for low frequencies—even when newly installed. (𝘙𝑒𝘧𝑒𝘳𝑒𝘯𝑐𝘦: 𝐴𝘕𝑆𝘐/𝘈𝑆𝘈 𝘚12.60-2010/𝘗𝑎𝘳𝑡 1, 𝘊.3.3)   2️⃣ Recommended RT: For classrooms and meeting rooms, aim for ≤ 0.8 seconds to ensure optimal performance.

Imagine a classroom where every student feels truly included and able to learn with agency. That's the promise of Universal Design 3.0. Joined by Lessoncast VP of Inclusive Services, Sylvia Rodriguez Douglass, Ed.D, we have submitted a proposed SXSW EDU workshop, "Ensuring Full Accessibility with Universal Design 3.0", to bring the vision of this promise to life. Educators and instructional designers, will learn how to: ✅ Identify and dismantle barriers to full accessibility. ✅ Apply UDL principles to create equitable learning experiences. ✅ Respond to real-life challenges with innovative solutions. Watch the video to learn more. Then click the link in the comments to vote for our workshop, and share your feedback and insights! https://lnkd.in/ej42YU92 #UDL #InclusiveEducation #Accessibility #EquityinEducation #BraveSpaces #SXSWEDU25
