From my reading, the very first line sums it up quite nicely "The arrival of even one computer in the classroom can have a profound effect on the way students learn and the way the classroom operates." Classrooms would need to be reconfigured to adequately accommodate ICT. Arranging the teaching space to include various ICT will add some diversity to the classroom and make it conducive to the learning situation, which make students comfortable.
From the reading and discussion, it was duly established that a lot of schools were not wired to accommodate ICT in the classroom prior to ICT introduction. This seems to pose some problems and other arrangements would have to be made.
There are some benefits to be derived with different classroom spaces once they reflect the needs of the settings. Some benefits may include but not limited to classroom management, ease of movement between groups, students collaboration, etc.
However, there are some limitations as well such as limited power outlet; the school setting where classes are divided by chalkboards makes it difficult for peripherals in the classrooms as they would not be as secured as we will want them to be etc.
