A technology-infused classroom is a classroom which evolves, as technology itself progresses. It is my vision that a technology-infused classroom would be one that provides students with the technological tools that would enable them to work with concepts or skills in meaningful ways. There are many types of technology (software and hardware) that can enhance instruction and empower students with the tools they need to succeed in the future.
Within a technology-infused classroom there should be computers/laptops available for student to access on a daily basis. Students should also have access to a printer, digital camera, and other technological devices. The teacher should also have an electronic whiteboard, Elmo, scanner and the appropriate software programs to compliment the curriculum.
It would be my goal to educate myself as to the potential of each of these forms of technology and how to best use them to enhance my lessons. I would also incorporate technology in a way, in order for students to be able to relate the curriculum to meaningful, real world applications. Today’s students live in a digital, high-paced society and as educators it is important that we use the tools that they will need in order for them to compete and succeed in the 21st century.
