The Perfect Classroom In my ideal perfect classroom were technology is used a lot for

learning students would have access to whatever technology they needed. The students would be allowed to use laptops with internet connection, use the resources they need (webcams, search engines, phones) and they could hand assignments in electronically. The teacher would show the class information on a smartboard or using video that can be seen on the students laptops. The classroom would have desks for every student and comfortable chairs. Students would be allowed to express themselves and do their assignments however they wanted, they could use art, music, video, or anything else they wanted to.

The Dark SideProblem #1. There could possibly be a lot of

plagiarism.Solution: Programs could be installed that

could prevent plagiarism and students would be required to hand assignments in to sites were they could scan for plagiarism.

The Dark SideProblem #2. Some students could not afford

to get a laptop.Solution: The school could set up a program

were students could rent one for little money for the school year.

The Dark SideProblem #3. Some students might not like

the idea of using technology for everything.Solution: Students would be allowed to say

no to using technology for their assignments, they could use alternative methods.
