I have multiple thoughts
on what I think a technology infused classroom should like. First, the actual physical
plays an important role and should reflect a clean and professional setting. To
achieve this it should have a carpeted floor, much like a real office work environment,
and well-sized individual workstations for the students – the overcrowded computer
tables that students share in pairs are outdated, ineffective, and inefficient.
I currently have no control over the actual look of my classroom, but my plan
is to use my laptop cart that I got based on a grant I wrote last year. I have established well-structured procedures
and policies for my students to follow when they use the laptops to keep the neat, clean, and in good shape for
years to come. My classroom almost always has some sort of technology infused
into the lesson or unit we are currently doing, as this teaches and enforces
computer and digital literacy as well as keeps the lessons fun and engaging for
the learners. I seek online resources and forums to keep current with my
knowledge and skills, as to not get stale. This type of content changes and evolves
rapidly, so it is important o keep up to date with current literature and research.
