In a perfect world

Since I am not currently in a classroom, I feel like sometimes I am getting all of these wonderful ideas for educational technology that I may, or may not, be able to use in my own classroom, depending on the school and district that I teach in and the accessibility of technology. However, it has definitely got me thinking a lot about what my ideal classroom would be like if I could have all of the things that I think would allow me to be the most effective teacher possible. Here are the the things I have come up with:

1. At least 5 computers in my classroom

2. The following software on each computer: word processing, video editing, audio editing, iTunes, an internet connection with search engine, Kidspiration, powerpoint, and access to other software packages, as needed

3. The following hardware: at least 1 color printer and one laser printer, a promethian/smartboard, activevotes for the smart board, projector and screen, digital cameras, video cameras, microphones, headphones

Of course, this would be in a dream world, but I continue to add to my list of things as I learn about new technologies and I hope to be able to find ways to implement as many of them as possible in my classroom, even if it means fundraising or spending money out of my own pocket!
