    One classroom learning environment that facilitated my learning was a highly interactive setting where the teacher used a mix of multimedia presentations, group discussions, and real life examples. The room was well organized, with clear visuals and accessible resources, which helped maintain focus and support different learning styles. The instructor encouraged questions and critical thinking, creating a safe space for exploration and dialogue. In contrast, an environment that impeded learning was one where lectures were long, monotonous, and lacked student interaction. The classroom was poorly lit, cluttered and lacked visual aids, making it difficult to stay engaged or absorb information effectively.

    My favorite classroom experiences that helps everyone in the class learn the best and quickest way is to “see one, do one, teach one.” In this instance, whether hands on or not, the instructor explains what needs to be performed and explains why it is done in such a manner. While watching the instructor do it, the students can see and ask questions about who, what, when, where, why and how the drill or skill is performed. After the explanation phase, the students can now attempt to do the skill on their own. This skill can be done with the watchful eye of the instructor to make sure that it is done properly. Once completed, the student can now attempt to do the skill again but without assistance. Once the student feels as if they have mastered the skill, they can now “teach” the skill to others that might not know the drill or skill and in turns creates a positive environment within the organization.

    i also agree with what you are saying DE Shadoin. A well-organized, interactive classroom with multimedia, discussions, and real-life examples fosters engagement, supports diverse learning styles, and encourages critical thinking. Clear visuals and accessible resources help maintain focus and make learning more effective. Conversely, poorly structured environments with long, monotonous lectures, minimal interaction, and inadequate lighting or visual aids hinder engagement and retention. The quality of the learning environment significantly impacts comprehension, motivation, and overall educational experience, making thoughtful classroom design essential for effective instruction.
