A Stand-Up Desk Experiment

In order to learn more about how the application of stand-up desk would work in MCPS elementary school classrooms, I thought it would be interesting to just put one in a classroom and see what happens.

A 3rd grade classroom at Lewis & Clark was chosen and one adjustable stand-up desk was delivered.
The desk, pictured below above, came with no strings, directions, or rules. The teacher was in charge of the desk. I guess there was one string, however. Well, two really. The first is that I would be returning the desk to its proper home at or before the end of this school year, and second, I wanted to know what the students and the teacher think about the desk, and would likely blog about it here.

Students take turns using it and chronicling their thoughts about it. The images below represent the written thoughts of the students who have used the desk thus far. The first two images are those things the students listed as pros of the stand-up desk, and the next two pictures are the cons about the desk. You can click on the images to make them larger.
