    Technology is ubiquitous, touching almost every part of our lives, our communities, our homes. Yet most schools lag far behind when it comes to integrating technology into classroom learning. Many are just beginning to explore the true potential tech offers for teaching and learning.

    I like incorporating various forms of technology into science lessons, like exploration and sites that have a web cam for viewing things that we couldn't access on a field trip.

    I agree with Cody. Why is it that schools are lacking in the technology department when it effects our lives so much?

      I feel like so many schools are so anxious to have new tablets and advanced technology for their students, but do they have an educational goal that they are trying to reach by utilizing this technology or is it simply to keep up with a newer generation?

      I know so many teachers and even professors at the university that have very little experience or understanding of technology. It is frustrating that technology is available and very helpful but still some educators have no idea how to utilize it and therefore the students do not benefit from the positive learning they could be experiencing.
  • As technology evolves, so must the teachers
  • eacher is able to engage with each student and immediately determine what their needs are
  • The first annual Digital Learning Day falls on February 1 and will celebrate innovative K-12 instructors who successfully bring technology into the classroom by assigning online course content, using adaptive software for students with special needs, and utilizing online student assessments and other digital tools

    I liked this article because it had cute ideas for integrating technology into early education. Its hard as an early childhood major to use technology cause you do not want to affect their development or make class more difficult, but i liked these ideas.
  • Lindsay Pasco on 29 Sep 13
     
    I think as an Early Childhood Major it is hard to incorporate technology in the classroom not only because you don't want to affect their development but, I know that when I was in K-3 we went to a computer lab had completely different lessons that we did in a classroom. It related to the lessons but, it was taught by a different teacher.
  • Jordan Griggs on 01 Oct 13
     
    I really loved this article. Not only did it talk about technology for classrooms, but it gave real examples of how it was being used in schools. It is difficult sometimes to be creative but getting feedback and seeing how others are using it, can be extremely helpful! As I am on my way to earning my ECE degree, I look for these types of examples to start to get ideas for my own classroom and how I will work with students.
  • Sadie Butts on 01 Oct 13
     
    I loved the example about the teacher who would comment on all of the students' blogs, and by the end of the year, the students could carry the discussions on their own. That just shows us as educators that students do have the ability to learn technology.
  • Rachel Longnecker on 01 Oct 13
     
    This was very interesting. I found it a little funny when I saw the word relax but it is true that if you let students have the feeling that these valuable tools are theirs then they will take care of them. I feel for most children, who are taught to be careful with valuable things, this will be the case. Although, there are some kids who are never taught that nor taught respect for others things because they are just taught to be selfish. As a teacher this would be you job to show them that they need to care for valuable things and respect others property along with your own.
  • Bethany Hooser on 01 Oct 13
     
    I thought this article was very interesting. Students do have the ability to continue the use of technology with out the guidance of teachers, as this article points out.

The Role of Technology in Early Childhood Programs - 0 views

www.earlychildhoodnews.com/...article_view.aspx

shared by Laura Chapman on 10 May 10 - Cached
  • To evaluate whether computers are developmentally appropriate for children over age three, we need to determine the developmental needs of these children. Children this age are developmentally within Piaget’s preoperational stage. This means they are concrete learners who are very interested in using newly learned symbolic representation - speaking, writing, drawing (including maps and geometric figures) and using numbers. Further, children this age are extremely active and mobile. They often have difficulty sitting still; they need frequent changes in learning modalities; and they want a variety of physical experiences involving dance, physical play, climbing and sports. Preoperational children are also are continuing their mastery of language, and exploring various facets of social behavior.
    • kristel coulter

      We should evaluate children to see if they are ready for certain programs. This theory states since some children have problems sitting still the children need more changes and opportunities to move.
    • Kelsey Short
      Kelsey Short on 29 Sep 13
       
      I do not think evaluating children will help us decide whether or not they will be ready for technology. The new generations are picking it up on their own earlier and earlier. I think the generations we will be teaching will expect this as a daily part of life by the time they reach even the preschool age.
    • Lindsay Pasco
      Lindsay Pasco on 29 Sep 13
       
      I think that it is important to know the developmental needs of children. I agree that there should be a variety of physical environment in physical experience and exploring. I think that within the next few years children will already be dependent of the technology and use it in the everyday life, which is important to know because then we must incorporate it in the classroom.
  • Clearly many of these developmental needs match up well with appropriate use of technology in the classroom, especially exploration, manipulation of symbolic representation, matching alternative learning styles, and quickly changing learning modalities that individual students can control and pace to meet their individual needs. It is also a very powerful tool for students with specific learning disabilities.
    • kristel coulter
      kristel coulter on 27 Sep 13
       
      Every child is different and has different developmental needs and we need to meet the needs of every child.
  • The use of computers in a fully integrated classroom is endless. Software can be used to create books, with dictated tests and illustrations; photos of children and the community can be taken with digital cameras and then combined with text and pictures to create journals, biographies, wall newspapers, school/home communications, and neighborhood documents. Older children can use scanners, font selection, and various graphics application, to develop power-point presentations to show the rest of the class and parent gatherings. And, of course, Internet sites can be accessed to do research on almost all topics. There are also wonderful opportunities for correspondence activities with children throughout the world.

    This talks about how technology can be integrated and how technology will become a big part of the classroom in the future.
  • Jordan Griggs on 01 Oct 13
     
    I agree that children need evaluations but with the way society is growing, I believe that it will be normal for this age of students to be using computers and technology of this sort. I believe it needs to be introduced into the classroom early, so that they get a feel for it early on. More and more classrooms use technology as a basis for learning and if students don't have a feel for how certain applications and tools work, they will be lost and far behind their generation. Taking into account diversity and that some students may not have technology resources at their home, it is good to use them in the classroom so that they can gain knowledge of these tools.
  • Sadie Butts on 01 Oct 13
     
    I'm not an early childhood education major, but I believe that it's important for students to become familiar with technology at a young age. One point that the article made was that there needs to be more resources available. This is vital within the classroom because when I was growing up, a classroom usually didn't have more than two or three computers for students to use. Because of the shortage in supplies, I always felt like using the computer wasn't that important for me to learn because we didn't experiment with them.
  • Rachel Longnecker on 01 Oct 13
     
    I like the article but one thing stuck out to me and that is "Preschool and kindergarten children should first be introduced to computers one at a time, or in small groups." I think this quote is controversial, to me that is. I think technology needs to be introduced to students at a later age like maybe 4th grade. Just definitely not preschoolers and kindergarteners. Lets say you show a kindergarten child a picture of an apple and you only show them pictures of things and you do not integrate actual apples or trips they will only perceive the item as what they saw. My main point is if you show a picture of a red apple and say this is what an apple looks like they will memorize an apple as being that red apple on the screen. Then when they go take a test on fruits and the question says: What color is an apple? A) red B) green or C) red or green. The child will pick A when the correct answer would be C. They will pick A because they only saw a red apple during that lesson.

  • In the Auburn School District, administrators are using the iPad in controlled areas to prove its efficacy in raising literacy rates and teaching mathematical skills.
  • In the study, half of the 16 kindergarten classrooms were randomly assigned iPads to use for nine weeks, and they showed increased improvement results over the non-iPad classrooms
  • “The iPad had interesting possibilities in terms of helping students access what they know [while interacting] in a very different way with material and information.”
  • Alyssa Palladino on 08 Oct 12
     
    This article is about integrating ipads into the classroom.I found this article to be very interesting because Fairfield County is wanting to adopt ipads in their school district, and I wont lie I was very hesitant on that idea, but after reading this and seeing the extensive studies that have been done, I think it could be very beneficial.

  • amber alexander on 20 Jun 13
     
    I think we should connect school to real life. Students do not like school because they feel like they will never need it in real life. Instead of making school boring teachers should be as creative as they possibly can while fitting in the core standards. It will make our 8 to 9 hours days more exciting and our jobs easier because most students will WANT to be involved instead of being forced because their guardians put them on the bus that morning.
  • Carley Morrison on 26 Sep 13
     
    I think this article was important because it gave examples of how technology helps relate students to the real word. Most students struggle with learning because they do not see why they need to know this. But by connecting curriculum to real life situations through technology, students will be more willing to learn.
  • Kelsey Short on 02 Oct 13
     
    This article really reflects my standards of education. I enjoy the constructivist layout of these classrooms. I feel as if children do miss out on education when all they learn is test and textbook information. I like the idea of creating something unique and originally because this seems more real world applicable.
  • Rachel Longnecker on 03 Oct 13
     
    This article was interesting and it had some good examples of doing an assignment in a more active way. These ideas and use of material could make things interesting and spark a lot of creativity. I like doing making videos and other things, even though it is really stressful. It just makes school fun along with getting your required standard material.
  • Bailey Berry on 03 Oct 13
     
    I liked how this article talked about students doing and creating things with meaning. Now just a bunch of activities to put in the "Friday Folder", but actual experiences that they can relate to real life and really learn something.
  • Sadie Moser on 03 Oct 13
     
    I know when I was in high school, my class always wanted to know how we were going to use our learning in the real world. More often than not, the teacher told us that we would not use the learned skill outside of the classroom. This kept many of the students from caring about their work or learning. I think to keep students excited about learning, it should relate to the real world.
  • Eddie Johnson on 04 Oct 13
     
    I like how this article talks about relating school work to the real world. I think this would help students bring knowledge of the world into their school academics.
  • Debbie Voight on 25 Oct 13
     
    Reading this article made me get excited about the possibilities of teaching with creativity and application. I agree with the author when she wrote, "I'd rather know that my kids were creating something of meaning, value, and I hope, beauty for people other than just their teachers, and that those creations had the opportunity to live in the world. That they were thinking hard about audience. That they were learning how to network and collaborate with others. That they were developing "proficiency with the tools of technology," learning to "design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes," and becoming literate in the process. Real work for real audiences is, of course, hard to find in the current standardized testing regime." I could not have said it better myself! It seems that employers are looking for people who possess the quality of "working well with others". This new integrated classroom setup would allow for so many different learners to excel! Incredible article!
  • Megan Fout on 21 Nov 13
     
    I enjoyed this article but also disagreed with it due to the fact that it is not possible for most students to complete some of these because they may not have access to a computer. They are great ideas but you have to look at your students before making it an assignment.

    I like this article. It explains, in ten ways, reasons why we would need technology in educations. I especially like "Reason 8: Weight" because my brothers book bag on a regular day easily weighs 20lbs. The reason is because of all the books he carries around for school. Yes it is his fault for not using his locker but you do have to pay a fee ,at the begging of the year, to use the locker. My main point is that I worry about his back, he does not worry because he is an athlete but still.

    Since early childhood is my area, I thought that this was a nice article that summarized using technology in the classroom when working with the younger grades. It also goes over safety when using the internet and has important tips and reminders when working with early childhood and technology in the classroom. In the past, some educators and researchers have voiced concerns about the use of the Internet and computers in general with young children. However, recent research indicates that when integrated properly into early childhood classroom environment, the Internet can be an effective teaching tool, empowering children to take a more active role in their learning.
  • Lauren Toth on 08 Mar 12
     
    Early childhood is also my area in which I will be getting my degree in. I thought this article was very helpful in the areas of telling us what an early childhood student was capable of doing. This article let me know it was okay for younger students to go online in a classroom was long as we checked out the websites and they were age appropriate. I learned that websites need to hold their attention, have sounds and colors to make learning more fun for them. The questions that you ask need to be precise and direct. Technology plays a very important role in the early education field, so that they can get used to technology and how to also learn from the computer not just from a teacher. In this article they also mentioned that websites can help with letter recognition, word and picture connection activities. We should use technology as something to go to when a child needs to learn something a different way or just needs more practice!
