    This site provides teachers with lesson ideas that are technology based. Teachers will find this site useful because for each activity it provides an overview of the lesson, goals, and materials needed. The site also includes detailed instruction on how to implement the activity.I really enjoyed that the site was easy to navigate and provided a lot of in-depth ideas. I will definitely use this site in my future classroom.

Early Childhood Teacher - 1 views

  •  
    This blog is written by an early childhood teacher out of Florida. She uses this to update her parents and communicate with them about what is going on in the classroom. She posts entries here and there and also uploads pictures to share, which offers a balanced view of the classroom. She has it organized by recent posts, where parents can click on the title and also by categories. Additionally she has a bar on the side of her page which offers great websites and resources that parents can access.

    Scholastic website is well-organized and has good resources available. One can sort online learning activities by age level, including Pre K-K activities. The blog appears to be the same as Christina's Classroom (Christian Germano).

Using Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom - 12 views

  • Modern technologies are very powerful because they rely on one of the most powerful genetic biases we do have — the preference for visually presented information.

  • On the other hand there are many positive qualities to modern technologies. The technologies that benefit young children the greatest are those that are interactive and allow the child to develop their curiosity, problem solving and independent thinking skills.
  • Computers allow interaction. Children can control the pace and activity and make things happen on computers. They can also repeat an activity again and again if they choose.
  • Yet external symbolic representation such as the written word, visual images on television, and complex three-dimensional videography are all sensed, processed, stored, and acted on by the human brain. Because the brain literally changes in response to experiences, these "new" (from a historical perspective) experiences (the written word or television) cause changes in brain development, brain organization, and brain function that were never expressed hundreds of generations ago.
  • So to tape a conversation and replay it for an adult means something entirely different than when a three-year-old hears their voice on a tape. These experiences can be very positive and mind-expanding for a child — as long as they are done at the right time.
  • Children need real-life experiences with real people to truly benefit from available technologies.
  • As parents think about the future they need to realize two things: technology is not going to go away and we are in the midst of a major sociocultural quantum shift. These technologies are revolutionizing the world our children will live in. So our task is to balance appropriate skill-development with technologies with the core principles and experiences necessary to raise healthy children.
  • I think the key to making technologies healthy is to make sure that we use them to enhance or even expand our social interactions and our view of the world as opposed to using them to isolate and create an artificial world.
  • In the end, as with all other tools, adults must protect children from misuse or inappropriate access.
  • Technologies should be used to enhance curriculum and experiences for childre
  • I believe parents and teachers can take advantage of the interactive qualities of a computer to enhance the experiences available to children.
  • Unfortunately, technology is often used to replace social situations and I would rather see it used to enhance human interaction
  • n addition, there are a number of specialized programs that allow children with certain information-processing problems to get a multimedia presentation of content so that they can better understand and process the materia
