One Computer Classroom

One Computer Classroom
Third Grade

My third grade classroom will consist of one computer, one printer, and one projector. The students desks will be located in the center of the room in rows. My desk will be located in the front left side of the classroom so I can see everything happening in the classroom. The computer and printer will be placed at my desk for my convenience. I would need a few programs, such as Microsoft Office, added to my computer to allow me to make lessons or tests and to take attendance. There will be a projector in the front of the room that can project off of the chalkboard which will also be in the front of the room. With the computer, I will make powerpoints and then send them to the projector to be projected onto the chalkboard for the entire class to see. The students will have restrictions on the use of the computer and will be watched carefully. Students will be able to look up information for assignments, play educational games, and take test. The students will have a limited amount of time on the computer each week. The printer will allow me to print off documents such as student test results or parent notes. I feel that my students can benefit from having technology in the classroom. It allows them to become familiar with technology and become better learners.
