Technology Infused Classroom 
A technology infused classroom is place where the teacher and students have immediate access to lots of different types of current technology.  Students are actively using different forms of technology daily and teachers are guiding students in their learning.  Students are working collaboratively with the technology and they are using their creativity to show what they know and continue to learn. 
There might be an interactive white board in use where students or teachers are modeling or explaining, it could even be used for a small group lesson or center rotation.  Digital cameras and printers could be used to take images of concepts in real life, such as a pencil, a cylinder for math; grass outside, a producer for science; or even a picture of a child eating to write a descriptive paragraph for writing.  The technology infused classroom would have computers that students would use word processing applications to publish their work, practice skills using website of software programs.  The Flip camera or camcorder could capture presentations, experiments or even students teaching others.  Students would have assigned iPads for daily use to practice, explain, view concepts, and produce work. The use of other technologies used by children would be the center of a technology infused classroom.  Students actively using different technology daily to learn and show what they have learned, this is the vision I have for my technology infused classroom.
