While in block at Appalachian State University, one of my assignments was
to create a Classroom map. The classroom map had to show how we plan to
incorporate computers into our classroom and make them available to all
students.
As a teacher, I want my classroom set up in a way that promotes learning.
In this classroom, I will display student work so that students can feel
like they are a part of the classroom. I also want my computers available
for my students to use. I plan to have a sign in sheet that documents when
each of my students used the computer during the day. By using this sign
in sheet I will be aware of who is using the computer and who isn’t. This
way I can encourage students to use the computer more.
In developing this classroom map, I will have a physical setting that supports
active student involvement, inquiry, and collaboration(12.4).
Also by having computers available for my students to use and using a sign
in sheet, I have ensured equal access to media and technology resources
for all of my students(14.2).
