What will Meeting Workspaces look like in SharePoint 2013?

Question

We are looking to upgrade to SharePoint 2013, and are concerned about the Meeting Workspaces.  I understand that they need to be operated in 2010 mode, how does this work?  Do we need to switch from 2013 to 2010 and then back again, based on
what site/subsite we are on?  What does this look like?  How can we fix this, is there a way to change the existing meeting workspaces to team sites instead?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please refer to Discontinued features and modified functionality in Microsoft SharePoint 2013
and note, all Meeting Workspace site templates are no longer available as a site option:
