Technology is a very important aspect of a 21st century classroom because the careers that our students will be heading into will be more technologically advanced than any careers in history. A technology-infused classroom will simply be a classroom in which computers are a common way of life. If computers are a common element to the students, they will be able to interact with them more smoothly. A common set of computers will make this interaction easier to work with and allow students to create products on the computers that would normally be created by pencil and paper.
The products that students can create in a technology-infused classroom are endless based on the programs and projects that the students are allowed to work with. By giving the students the proper resources and reasons to use them, a teacher can create a more realistic classroom that the students will be interested in and find useful later on in their lives. These projects can be stressful for a teacher to work with since the students and teacher may be working with tools that they are not familiar with, but with a little scaffolding about the program the teacher can prepare the students for future projects.
