I haven't given much thought to the atnosphere in the classroom, but I can see a relavance to a persons mood.
I like the idea of playing with the seating arrangement to more of a "U-shape" and the use of music with different BPM's for stimulating various state of mental activity.
Music and colors in a room will create a better and enjoyable experience.
When using color to in the classroom, chose colors the will create a welcoming environment. Avoid using colors that may trigger negative emotions or anxiety. Try using peripheral material with positive messages. Lighting is very important in a classroom.
I have learned and understand the importance of classroom where students have an relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
I love having some music on while our students are doing lab work. It helps just to have some background noise on while they are doing their work. We do change it up and try to have a variety each day.
I am personally deeply moved by music. I plan to introduce music into my classes.
It's all about the environment, their seating, the music, etc. It makes for a more positive learning environment.
Peripheral learning I will be more aware.
The information regarding the use of colors was very useful information. When making power points, I will utilize this information.
When I am finally able to return to my classroom instead of online, I would like to change something. For starters, when I show videos I would always turn off the lights-no more! I will add some music and arrange seats to engage students. I always have treats for students so I have this covered!
I found the music portion very interesting. Although I always played music while my students walked into class, I did not realize all the positive effects it had while conducting a class.
i need to pay close attention to seating in the classroom for accelerated learning
Sensory stimulation in the classroom is very useful to keep the students engaged.
I have witnessed the reaction of students when music is played, it definitely energizes them.
The importance of visual and auditory stimuli

I have learned a lot about creating an accelerated learing enviroment. I need to be better organized, when dealing with an accelarated enviroment. Also by positioning chairs and tables can change the entire feel of a classroom.
I learned different options in the classroom to engage students in learning.
If music stimulates the brain, then, music facilitates learning.
