  • Parents need help figuring out how to set limits with new media and making sure it doesn’t replace one-on-one time talking with their children, which experts agree is still the most valuable learning tool of all.
  • in addition to identifying quality in children’s media, is getting parents to understand the importance of setting limits and guiding their children’s media play.
  • before using technology with young children, teachers and parents should ask themselves: “What’s the value added at this particular developmental level?” and, “What can technology offer that other things can’t offer?”

  • “What are really useful are the interactive and empowering tools.”
  • “I get nervous when people just close the door on technology in preschool,” she said. “There’s an opening of windows onto new worlds that can occur when you have a computer there – a YouTube video or a Skype chat with other preschools in Sweden or Singapore. These are especially magical moments that can happen with young kids -  especially when they just don’t get that otherwise.”

  • Babies and young children can learn about the world around them through all sorts of real-world objects and safe replicas, from dolls to cardboard boxes to mixing bowls, and even toy cellphones and computers. Babies can learn a great deal just by exploring the ways bowls fit together or by imitating a parent talking on the phone. (Imagine how much money we can save on “enriching” toys and DVDs!)

    This website is wonderful! It is a great way to have group discussions between teachers, as well as teachers and parents. A teacher can post a picture or video of something going on within the classroom to share with the student's parents and receive comments in five different ways! Five! If you join any group, you can post a comment by telephone, typing, computer microphone, webcam, or uploading an audio file. That's such a variety! That allows easier access for parents, as well as other teachers who want to be involved.

    After deeply evaluating this website, I found it more difficult to find specific documents that I would prefer to find. This could be difficult for a learner online.

    Not so much tech (email communication between parents is actually discouraged), but interesting to those engaged in PreK. Alternative settings for education.

    Not sure how best to categorize this site- lots going on, from studies" on parents' and educators' attitudes regarding digital media use in young children" to" ways ""new" literacies can converge with emerging media to produce a powerful new learning equation that can stimulate both our early education system and our children's abilities to innovate and create."

    http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/techtorial/techtorial037.shtml\nThis is a web version. The Title link is a text only version. This site provides step-by-step instructions for creating student blogs. I would introduce young children to blogging no earlier than Grades K-1 . This can provide young children with a creative opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas and through the web parents can easily access this journal.

    Picasa is a great way to organize photos into timelines and albums either on your computer or online. Picasa can be used to edit photos and add text. Movies, collages, slideshows can be made. Photos and items made from picasa can be used by parents, teachers, and children. Teachers can document the progress and activities throughout the school year. Children can use Picasa for showing off their projects or documenting their own personal progress.

    This is free easy photo sharing and also works for Macs. Parents and children could conceivably use it at home to make illustrated books with captions since there is a caption writing feature.
  • Cecile Robinson on 21 Oct 09
     
    Great site where anyone of all ages can upload pictures and create things like photo stories Picasa is free photo editing software from Google that makes your pictures look great. Sharing your best photos with friends and family is as easy as pressing a button!
