This document summarizes a presentation by Maria Narciso and Samantha Morra from Montclair Public Schools about creating a 21st century classroom. It describes how they transformed a classroom based on a vision of flexible, technology-enabled learning. They removed traditional desks and installed movable furniture, computers, interactive whiteboards, and other technologies. This created a technology learning commons to engage students in skills like digital literacy, media authoring, and collaboration through projects like digital storytelling and video production. The project required planning, funding, construction, and staff training to fully realize the new learning environment.
