EDT110-My Ideal Classroom
Jasmine Gonzales
Technology
My classroom will have a projector, computers, tablets, child friendly cameras, wireless Internet, and a printer.
Projector
The projector will be used to enable students to see more clearly. It allows me as a teacher to display different visuals and forms of media to my students such as interactive websites and educational videos.It also allows the class to better collaborate with one another.
Tablets
Tablets can be used to build on a students learning and allow them to use new and familiar technology. It is a new way for students to get creative and have fun while learning.
Computers
Having computers in the classroom will allow my students and myself to quickly search up, research, and utilize online programs. They will also be able to learn how to use various software programs like Word, PowerPoint, and Photoshop. They also give students the opportunity to use gaming to learn and utilize new concepts. Games already being used in classrooms include brain games and Minecraft.
Cameras
Students can use cameras for class projects and homework. They will be learning a new technology and can even have their own in-class picture days. They can show their parents their artistic prose and have a picture gallery during open-house.
Printer
Having an in-class printer would relieve a lot of stress and enable the students to print out their online work to take home. They can even learn to print their pictures to take home and share. The printer can also be used to print extra copies and anything else the teacher may need.
Wireless Internet
Having WiFi in a classroom enables mobility and greater access to the internet. It is also a great way to teach students how to log in and remember passwords.
