[AUSTRALIA, 19/03/2018] -- The rise of collaborative classroom furniture has allowed students to take charge of their learning by designing their learning environment, Office Line notes this. Arranging classroom furniture to a desirable position improves group dynamics as students can easily communicate with each other based on the position of their tables and chairs.

Furniture that Integrates Learning and Healthy Living

St Andrews Primary School principal, Michael Tonnet, states that arranging collaborative classroom furniture is already a lesson in itself. It incorporates mathematics, communication and critical thinking to select the most appropriate position.

Research by EdTech, a research firm that studies issues in the IT and education sector, mentions that prolonged sitting increases the risk of developing heart disease, certain types of cancer and type 2 diabetes. Due to the findings of EdTech, many classroom furniture-manufacturing companies offer standing desks for teachers and students. These desks are easy to adjust and move and include student-friendly features such as a backpack hook and storage cubby.

Using STEM Furniture

Office Line supplies a wide range of classroom furniture that facilitates creativity, engagement and collaboration for STEM learning programmes. The company’s STEM furniture is adaptable to any classroom setting and works as key tools to encourage different ways of thinking.

For example, they offer the Eduflex Collaborative Zone Table that accommodates small groups of three to six students. They are best placed in classrooms and libraries for students to easily collaborate with each other.

For teachers who are looking to lessen their time sitting in the classroom, Office Line offers the Horizon Sit Stand Desk-Gas Lift. It has a gas lift handle that allows teachers to adjust height from sitting to standing positions easily.
