3. The Classroom
The case studies presented here are intended to give you ideas for arranging a classroom where space and furniture for computers are sparse.

Case study

Concern:
The student cannot type with her elbows level. The chair (1) is too low, but a higher one cannot be used due to the shelf under the desk (2). This shelf does not give the student enough leg room.
Low Elbow Height
Solution:
The shelf under the desk is easy to remove without damaging the table and a higher chair was available in the classroom.
