An ideal classroom

In an ideal classroom, I would like to have the following 10 items. At the moment I have the ones in bold.

1. Whiteboard - Definitely not chalkboard!
2. Computer with internet connection
3. Dictionaries for all students – My students have their own dictionaries.
4. Overhead projector
5. Ready-made posters
6. CD player
– The Chinese teacher left hers in one of my classrooms so…
7. DVD player
8. Video camera
9. Clock
10. Air-conditioning unit


What about you? Copy and paste the list on your blog and leave a comment here so we can all read the post!

Except for the ready-made posters, I agree with your list completely. As for posters, well, who needs 'em? :-)

I like to have many ready-made posters available so that I can change them on a regular basis. They're great for teaching / revising vocabulary and can be used for games in case you finish you lesson earlier that planned.

Those posters and pictures should come from you,shoudln't they?

Well, that's the thing Anino. I'd like to have ready-made posters that match the topics that I teach!

I am enjoying your blog, keep up the great work.

For posters and useful topic related vocabulary with pictures to print out, look at www.sparklebox.co.uk . You have to pay for some stuff, but there is a lot which is for free.

I just hope you have a colour printer! It wasn't on your list!

Thanks for the links. Yes, I do have a colour printer (both at school and at home)!
