A technology infused classroom, what does it look like?  I hope honestly that it would look like my current classroom.  On the left side of my classroom there is a accelerated math station, this is where students can control their own pace of study.  If they have an understanding of an objective they are able to move forward and if not they can keep getting questions on the same subject matter.  On the right side of the room there is a computer station this is where we use study island, discovery education and games to reinforce lessons/objectives that are taught daily.  In the front left area of the classroom there is a television and front center the smartboard technology stations.   This is where lecture and hands on interaction takes place in the classroom.  Last but not least the smart responders are used throughout the lesson to ensure the comprehension and retaining of information that is being taught in the classroom.   Technology-infused classrooms are not optional the 21^st century student must be prepared to compete in a world that is littered or polluted with technology.  How can we prepare a generation for technology without it?
