The Role of Technology in Early Childhood Programs - 0 views

  • 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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is the 2010 National Education Technology Plan summary.  While very broad, it does "Encourage states, districts, P-12 programs, and postsecondary education institutions to experiment with such resources as online learning, online tutoring and mentoring, games,  cognitive tutors, immersive environments, and participatory communities and social networks both within and across education institutions to give students guidance and  information about their own learning progress and strategies for seamless completion of a comprehensive P-16 education."

  • According to Pew research, 60 percent of students say their technology expectations are still not being met. But it is clear that today's students have more options than ever, with virtual schools, open education initiatives and massive open online courses, and online classes and programs.

      This statistic communicates to me that students are not satisfied with their experiences with technology in schools. Education is not an avenue in which students should be entertained. Sometimes less is more.

      Before technology and even in today's schools there wasn't many choices to deliver a lesson let alone many ways to incorporate the lesson physically. With technology today, teachers are able to teach globally with web conferencing. They can use immersive education domes to bring the lesson to life. Technology has brought so many opportunities to schools, but there are also disadvantages.
  • Typically students had few choices of any kind, particularly before new options, globalization, and competition began to put cracks in the traditional model of education delivery. But technology has finally tipped the balance. Today the power to drive real change lies with the learner, not the institution.

  • There are a lot of reasons but one of the biggest is the way that technology has given rise to a new kind of education consumer—the active learner—who is using technology to drive change in ways that we haven't seen before.

      The emergence of the active learner is extremely important! I think it's a great thing that learners are coming out and wanting to be hands on and active and push towards a new classroom of the future!

    I chose to share this article because I believe that technology can enhance education, but school is not all about entertaining students and measuring up to their technology expectations. There can be a good balance between technology enhancement and traditional instruction.

    I really like how they talk about not "tricking" our students into learning, rather getting their attention with tools they use everyday and they can relate to and utilize in projects and other resources.
