Reflect on the idea of what a technology-infused classroom looks like. How do you plan to have a technology-infused classroom?

Well, I feel that I already have a technology-infused classroom. In the morning, when students are done with their morning work, on their day they are allowed to go on the computer and play a math related game. To show the math warm up, instead of making copies, I use the document reader, showing the warm-up through a LCD projector on a white board, and the students write their answer in their math journal. Once I know how to use the Smartboard, bye-bye dry erase markers. I choose their Popsicle stick to answer the question. We discuss the answers. During the actual math lesson I may create a power point presentation to show to introduce skills and close lessons or use discoveryeducation.com, aplusmath.com, or http://nlvm.usu.edu/ I found a blank Jeopardy power point presentation from online and created review presentations. In reading, to review phonics, again a power point presentation with animations. During small groups starfall.com is used and different learning groups to help with reading comprehension, phonics, and grammar. For science, although not done yet, I would like the students to take pictures of certain projects to show the different steps and the progress, i.e. plant/seed growth. I am very lucky to be in a school that provides a wide range of technology for myself and others to use.
