 * Objective 5 **



__**Technology Placement in my Classroom **__
 * Technolgy is strategically placed in my classroom so that students can have equitable access and the teacher will also be able to monitor student workstations from various locations around the classroom.
 * The projector is mounted in the ceiling and the Smart Board is in the front of the classroom so that whole group instruction is simple and visible to all students.
 * The student computer stations are located in the rear of the classroom, with monitors facing the class so that students can be monitored by the teacher from all over the classroom. In this position, the student's back is facing the class to eliminate any distractions. All student stations are equipped with headphones and printers.
 * There is an area very near the teacher's desk where the laptop is located. This laptop is on a mobile cart, it is wireless, and is connected to the projector for ease of instruction anywhere in the classroom.
 * iPads carts are scheduled by the School Technology Coordinator. Each class will have access to iPad carts one time every other week. Students have an area located near the front door, equipped with a table and chairs, with the teacher facing the class so that all students are in full view at all times.
