Twitter in a Classroom - 12 views

Twitter is a useful tool for an ECE teacher to communicate with parents of students. This is an easy way for parents to be informed on what is going on in their child's school and classroom.

    Great for schools! Can be used to blog for teachers, students, professors or anyone involved in education. It also helps schools and university control their own blogs. Very helpful for the education world.

Fred Forward Conference: Breakthrough Technology and Media for Early Learning - 6 views

  • Maxwell King was blunt in assessing the ever-growing industry that churns out television shows, video games, Web sites and other media for kids: We don't need more crap, he told the audience at this week's Fred Forward conference. There's plenty of crap already.
  • Media products for babies, toddlers and preschoolers represent what is now a billion-dollar industry. How young is too young for TV and video viewing? What sort of shows and Web sites help children develop, and which ones keep kids from interacting with the real world? Combing through the thicket of mindless videos and slickly marketed characters to find the worthwhile educational elements is anything but easy.
  • One highlight of the conference: A chance to help shape the national guidelines about the role of technology in children's lives, which haven't been updated in 14 years. The NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) has announced that they're revamping those guidelines this year -- a very necessary move, given that the technology and media landscape has changed so drastically since 1996.

  • The audience offered up a long list of issues worth exploring -- everything from the role of technology in teaching children about emotion to the challenge of preparing teachers for tech-infused classrooms and even the environmental impact of high-tech toys.The guidelines will deal with the lives of children from birth to age 8. Conference participants agreed that the final position paper must take into consideration what a huge developmental range that represents.
  • Many speakers at Fred Forward pointed out that although Fred Rogers may not be here to advise us any longer, we can look to his wisdom to find some of the answers. Mr. Rogers knew, and demonstrated, that technology could be harnessed to educate and help develop young children's minds and spirits. But he also knew that sometimes kids need silence and space, freedom to explore the real world and a chance to move at their own pace.

Can Digital Technologies Help Low-Income Preschoolers Catch Up to Their Peers? | Spotli... - 3 views

  • Pasnik says she sees a lot of learning potential in these newer technologies. Tablet computers for example, offer repetition, portability and the possibility of learning with gestural movements, all of which hold promise for preschool students. She cautions that many of the apps being developed today place too much emphasis on academic skills and not enough emphasis on making things, discovering, sharing and turn taking. “We do a disservice to young children in attending to a very rigid and narrow sense of math and literacy and not really paying attention to the developmental needs of this age group,” said Pasnik. “The uptake of adoption here is far in advance of the research. But that’s not to say that we can’t be really thoughtful about what we do know about children’s development.”

      I think a lot of the applications out there are focusing too much on academics. I have one app called "toddler shapes" where a toddler--apparently is supposed to enjoy this application and learn their shapes. I have found this application to be much more developmentally appropriate for my preschoolers. My point is, that Pasnik is right, there needs to be more applications that help children explore..applications that facilitate inquiry.

    I spent some time searching for apps for my granddaughter. I was disappointed to see that there was so many apps focused on letter recognition, number recognition, and shapes, yet not enough open-ended apps that encourage creative and divergent thinking. The iPad has so much potential, but if the software isn't appropriate, it will be of little value.

We are looking for TYC Interest Forum members to volunteer a little bit of their time during Thursday, November 19 and Friday, November 20 during the NAEYC Annual Conference to make Tech on Deck the most successful technology in early childhood event. About Tech on Deck Tech on Deck is a professional learning experience designed to help early care and education professionals learn about innovative technologies through hands-on experience and demonstrations at the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Annual Conference. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in conversations on how technology and digital media tools can be integrated into their unique setting.

    Site for creating artwork and images ideally for children ages 3 to 12. Anyone can access and download the application for free from the website (tuxpaint.org). The application has special features to engage children, including sound effects when tools are selected and used, and a cartoon displayed in the corner to give help and hints. The drawing tools that are available for children to use are paint brush, rubber stamp, line tool, shape tool, text tool, special effects (magic) tools, eraser, and undo. Also, teachers and children can easily open, save, and print creations.This program could be used in an early childhood setting to help children work on fine motor skills by using the mouse on the computer. It can also foster creativity because the children are allowed to create whatever they want, however they want, and there is no limit on the amount of pictures that can be created. I would use this program in centers in the early childhood setting so that children could get equal opportunity and assistance, if needed.
