A 21 Century Classroom -Technology Infused

A technology-infused classroom is a place of learning where students explore, question, and are engaged in acquiring knowledge through various forms of technology. Students will be encouraged to use various technological devices to create student digital portfolios and demonstrate their understanding of content.  In other words, students should use technology as a classroom tool and a resource to support learning. More specifically, technology will be used as a resource in the learning process  for information retrieval, communicating with others, problem solving, engaging in simulated activities, and making presentations.



It's no longer effective for teachers to stand in front of the room and tell students about a concept or skills.  The teacher is now a facilitator of learning, asking the student a variety of questions on various levels to enhance learning.  Educators will carefully design instructional activities that will allow students to work with the concept or skills in meaningful ways so that they process and truly comprehend the material.  Instructors can even use digitally arranged content as a part of evaluation expectations.  Technology products should be loaded in content as opposed to being focused on the actual use of technology.
