Technology Infused Classroom

Unlike the traditional classroom setting the technology infused classroom has students actively engaged and moving about the room, collaborating and creating products that they can be proud of using these technological devices.  Textbooks are replaced by these devices to keep the students motivated and using their high order thinking skills.  The students and teachers can go beyond the walls of the classroom without leaving the building.  With the low funding for the classrooms the teachers can bring real life experiences to the students without leaving the room to get experiences they might not otherwise  receive if they did not have the connectivity.  When we look around we can see that our students come from a different way of life other than that of the students from just a few years ago.  They are engaged in  a way of life that allow them to use digital objects.  We can engaged our students in our classrooms with the tools thaat they enjoy.  A classroom that is infused with technology has a Smart Board, computers, laptops, digital cameras and digital videos.  With these tools we can capture our students attention.  When we incorporate technology in our lesson plans this supports the student learning.  With our digital learners we must infuse technology into our content area that support a positive and meaningful experience that help us as 21st century teachers.
With my classroom I use the Smart Board to inspire learning and keep my students engaged with interactive lesson plans.  I use my digital camera to take images of my students when we are working on projects to be displayed for all to enjoy.
