What To Look For In A Classroom Khon (Connections)

    Reading and watching the video I have seen many connections to Johnson reading in the aspect of what to look for in a classroom especially in the column of good signs. Johnson's connections to privilege in power by the teachers and the superior class can be seen in the columns. In this aspect I think it's more of the power within the classroom and for the teacher. Khon speaks about how a classroom should have groups of desks making the space more open for talking for students instead of the classic rows the rows show a sense of power in the classroom setting as well as the idea that the teacher should be in the front of the classroom  to be seen right away when you walk into a classroom. This is something that I think connects to Johnson because this can make students feel silenced and that their opinion does not matter in the classroom environment creating a very serious unwelcoming atmosphere for students. Johnson and Khon both touch upon the idea that equality and equity is needed in the classroom to have success for students and having a plain environment or displaying the work of other students that did better on a piece instead of others in the classroom is not a useful thing todo especially because it can make others feel less then. As educators you should be creating a classroom that is warm and inviting that allows students to feel comfortable this wont only help them but it's also beneficial to the teacher it makes learning more fun and easier for students to engage and learn. Pros and Cons of Seating Groups 

Comments: I think that this is a stigma of just being old school and how teachers were always the enforcement and the first to be seen in the classroom he one at the head of the room. I think that this is begin to change and evolve.
