<p>I little idea that's been brewing in my head:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Integrating coffee/snack breaks into the classroom:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When learning gets a bit too much, students are showing signs of fatigue, distraction and you generally know it's time for a break! But at the same time, you don't want to cut into your lesson time, especially if you're on a roll or really getting into some meaty discussions.</p>

<p>All colleges seem to operate a no eating/drinking in the classroom…</p>

<p>All colleges seem to operate a no eating/drinking in the classroom policy. But what if you could offer the break the students are craving without having to leave the classroom. Students whip out a naughty choccy bar or fizzy drink (or heaven forbid - the college may even provide some sort of something).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Students may carry on a discussion, or tangent into a new thread within the subject, that may not have happened if they left for 10 minutes, lost their train of thought and come back again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also, unlikely student bonds may occure which could enhance the classroom dynamic even more!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What are people's thoughts???</p>
