My 21st classroom is focusing on a second grade class. Anything that is in my classroom is available to my students. I will not be the type of teacher that has technology in the classroom and tell my students that they are not allowed to use it. I want my class to be fun and colorful, but not too much to were it becomes distracting for my students learning. I will not have a certain color it will just represent the ocean with colorful pictures and facts. I created a sketch of how I would like my classroom to look.
I will have a theme of marine animals, the walls will be decorated with pictures and facts about the animals. There will be five groups of desks with four chairs each. The five groups will be named a certain marine animal. For example there will be a group dolphin, a group shark, and so on. The groups marine animal will hang about the desks.

Teaching in a 21st century classroom can be hard. Therefore this video is able to help teachers understand how to teach more efficiently.
There is a clothes stand, a sink and a fridge next to the teacher's desk. The clothes stand is for the student's coats. The sink has soap and paper towels for students. The fridge in the classroom is for the students' lunches.
I will have the quiet areas next to each other so it is easier for the students to concentrate with what they are doing. The IWB is in a corner so it is not taking up too much space. My desk would be in the front of the classroom therefore I can watch the students when they are taking tests, or doing individual work.
Overall this class taught me a lot about how to use technology correctly and what to have in my classroom that will help teach children correctly. I think a online blog to keep parents informed would be a good way to keep the parents and teachers connected.
