Students are in two long groups, but are staggered for less talking than in traditional pod formations.  They will face one another, but have access to many different students for interaction and collaboration.

This classroom desk arrangement begins in an H formation, then the extra desks are placed on the legs of the H to face inward.  This example does not work well if the instruction is given from one place in the room, but it would work well for independent work and centers.

Zig zags formations are the center of this class seating chart.  This would work best for individual student center work as the students would be able to work independently, while also allowing for freedom of movement throughout the classroom.

Three groups of two desks each are the focus of this seating chart example.  The groups them become teams in which to collaborate and work together.   This arrangement is not useful if you do a lot of independent style work as the students ill all be facing one another.

Straight parallel lines are the look of this desk arrangement.  Two lines of students that face one another are perfect for friendly debates during class.
