Technology Infused Classroom

 

When walking into a technology-infused classroom you should see technology everywhere.  Students are working on computers (computer for every 2-3 students), the teacher has own computer she/he is working on.  A Smart Board or interactive board is being used along with a projector during lessons.  Students from all angles can see the board and are interactively involved in the lesson.  Smart Board clickers/responders are being used when appropriate for students to chime in on the lesson.

For my classroom, I plan to use all the technology my school provides me with. My students will be involved as much as possible on the computers and be using the given technology right along with me. My students will be able to help teach lessons by showing their examples up on the "Elmo," as well as teacher-created examples. The students and I will all be familiar and proficient with the technology that is in the classroom and how to use it. While students are responding to questions, they can use the surround system's microphone to make sure all can hear their answers. As I am teaching, I will be wearing the other microphone that comes along with the system, so students can hear what I am saying as well. Technology will only enhance my teaching experience, and not hinder it.
