      A "5-year old is a little too young to understand"?!  GIVE ME A BREAK!  They can use the ipads better than me!  ARG!  Welcome to 2012 people.

    Debate on use of ipads in kindergarten and whether or not they are age-appropriate.  Would you rather have them bash sticks together to see if they can make fire?!  Have some faith that kids, even young ones, can benefit from appropriate use of technology!  Keep them in this century! They can do things you never imagined!

  • We want them to see digital technologies as something they can use to express themselves.”
  • There’s been a lot of buzz in the last few years about what it means to be literate in the 21st century. To Resnick, teaching kids to program was like teaching children of another generation how to write.

      We have opportunities to reach outside our own classrooms and communities to help others with the click of a button. We should be modeling this kind of action within our students. 
  • So last month they started a petition on Change.org, the go-to site for Web uprisings. They demanded that Universal Studios “let the Lorax speak for the trees.” The petition went viral, quickly gathering more than 57,000 signatures, and the studio updated the movie site with the environmental message that the kids had dictated.

  • The iPad is far superior to the workbooks- instant, self correcting, gives immediate feedback, kids progress at own levels and can be working at differentiated levels.

      I love this post! thanks Michelle! I do believe that technology has to be part of the early years classrooms..but it has to be brought in in a way that it is not a treat. Kids need to see them as learning and exploration tool just like they see legos, blocks and books.
  • Other curriculum areas we use the iPad in are science (as a journal to record our observations) to check the weather, Social Studies- we tweet other kindergarten classrooms and find them on maps and the globe and learn about their lives; comparing similarities and discussing differences and even collaborating on play projects.

  • Zinch, which is free for students, is designed like a social networking tool.
  • lines are blurring between social networking tools and digital portfolios.
  • Digital portfolios provide students a way to track what they’ve learned over time, compile their grades and scores and publish their completed projects. And they provide a sense of a student’s identity, one behind the transcript, when submitting their applications.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Parents can involve their kids, even at a very young age, to help them not only pick their favorite works but also to assess and reflect on their learning. The reflection component, much more than the presentation element of digital portfolios, is where Barrett believes they reach their full power.

5 Ways to Integrate Technology Into Your Child's Education - 2 views

  • Technology allows parents and teachers to provide the right amount of discipline for each student individually, and to supplement where necessary. It also allows students to learn at their own pace, which can help keep them interested and excited about the material.

      Facilitate Self-paced Learning
  • Take learning out of and beyond the classroom. Children learn in a multimodal manner -– they want to be able to touch and hear and see things up close. Netbooks or laptops that feature tools like a camera, writing stylus and audio recording capabilities help to encourage a multimodal approach to learning. The more learning modes (auditory, visual, and experiential) that are exercised, the more likely the material they are learning is likely to stay with them long-term.
