Classroom Architect
Outline Your Classroom Floor Plan For students, the classroom environment is very important. The size of the classroom and interior areas, the colors of the walls, the type of furniture and flooring, the amount of light, and the room arrangement all influence how students learn.
Using this floor-planning tool, design a floor plan for your classroom. When you click on an item, it will enlarge in proportion to the space. Arrows will allow you to change the position of some items. This tool provides an opportunity for experimentation with the space and layout of your classroom without any heavy lifting! When you have finished, print off your floor plan.
You can now temporarily save up to 5 floorplans at a time.
The floorplans are saved to a cookie on your computer and can only be viewed on this computer. If you want to store a floorplan for your records please print it out.

Squeak (free software)
Squeak is a "media authoring tool"-- software that you can download to your computer and then use to create your own media or share and play with others.
Many students are using Squeak to learn more about how the world works. See children's projects and teacher's comments in School Stuff.
Other "Squeakers" use Squeak to develop games and other forms of online entertainment, while still more are writing software and basing companies on this remarkably powerful scripting language.
