Peter Mellow's insight:
Now, places outside the classroom are more useful than ever as learning spaces, for two reasons. first, portable technology means you don’t have to be near a power outlet to work and wi-fi brings online access to the remotest corner of campus. Second, college work now involves a lot of group projects. More assignments reflect and teach real-world knowledge economy skills: collaborating in pairs, small groups, and teams.

ICT enables schools to create physical and virtual learning spaces. Good design of physical learning spaces and effective use of ICT can maximise student learning. The learning environment includes:
• the physical space and furniture • the ICT available and in use • the teaching practice undertaken.
This section outlines how physical space and access device (computer) options are broadly related to teaching practice and describes different examples of ICT learning spaces.

I agree with this author about the furniture used in classrooms then and now. I can foresee things to be different in future. i can predict that in the future technology will be even advanced that there might be chairs designed with tables. This will benefit the students and the teachers as there will be more space in the classrooms and it is easier for the students to have group discussions I cant say that this is truly foolproof as students can misuse use these. They can dismentle the table from the chair and using it for other foolish activities like playing it with their friends..etc.

The 21st century learning spaces are based on years of research by architects, principals and education experts into the best way to design, build and fit-out schools.
To maximise the benefits of these spaces, they incorporate enhancements such as ICT, ESD features and furniture and equipment.

Welcome to the evaluation of learning spaces project website. This is a partnership project between Swinburne University of Technology, Victoria University and University of Queensland. The project team has been chosen for their collective expertise in education and evaluation, and for their leadership roles in campus development projects in their respective institutions. The project aims to provide a framework for a full evaluation cycle, from conceptualisation and design to implementation and post-occupancy.

PM - This free downloadable PDF book was the catalyst for a change in thinking about learning environments. While not the first, it really gathered some traction within the tertiary environment in 2006. A great, worthwhile read. EVERY teaching space architect should be forced to read this book before designing a classroom or any building at an educational institution. I love the whole book, but my favourite is chapter 13, the lecture hall at LeBaron, Iowa State.
