The Ideal Classroom Environment

Creating the ideal classroom was a chance for us to design a classroom environment with technology in mind. Based on our students’ needs and interests, we created two units, a classroom map, a budget, and explanations of our decisions. Our final product was presented using a website.

The process of creating the classroom was interesting. My partner and I never met outside of class; all of our communication took place with the use of technology. We used Facebook, email, googledocs, and googlepages. We even created the final product at separate times using a shared gmail account. Creating the different parts of the project was a rewarding process because I got to learn about different aspects of education that students usually do not learn in school.

While doing this project, I realized how many great products are available to make the classroom a better learning environment. Also, I learned to put technology at the top of the list when planning lessons. Getting practice during this project will help me to make it a habit. Eventually, using technology with education on a daily basis will become second nature. Also, creating this classroom has started to get me thinking about using technology in more creative ways that I previously had.
