    This website is very creative and fun. However, I do not think it is appropriate for early childhood education. The vocabulary is way too advanced for this age group. Also, while the pictures and videos are funny many of them are inappropriate for children. It is definitely a website for older, more mature students.

    I think it is great that some districts are getting this new technology out into classrooms, and particularly early childhood classrooms...but I am finding that there is often a piece missing--the professional development or training that shows teachers "what to do with this thing".

  • 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.

  • ...12 more annotations...
  • 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

    Really appreciate how the video examples are provided both in a format to view on the Internet and that can be downloaded. Having downloads extends the ability to share the video clips in settings where there is no Internet. (can download to a laptop and share). Wishing others creating video examples would increase access to the use of their clips with a download option. Also appreciate that there are video examples in Spanish on Results Matter, and the promise of captioning. Several examples of using iPads with young children in classroom settings are provided.
