classroom
Where lessons happen
A classroom is a room in a school or other educational setting where teaching and learning take place.
Classrooms typically contain desks or tables for students, a larger desk for the teacher, and various instructional materials like whiteboards or screens.
The word extends to virtual settings as well: an online classroom is a digital space where instruction occurs remotely.
