      I do not agree that children should have computers in their rooms. I feel that there are way too many opportunities for bullying and questionable sites for children to get into. If the computer is in a public location we can monitor to make sure the programs the children are going into are good sites.

    Well, I am younger and I always had a computer. When I was younger the computer was in my moms room. I think that was because we were young and barely knew how to work it. We also lived in an apartment. When we got a house we had a computer room. My mom would come in when she wanted and it didn't matter if the door was open or not. As my sister and I got older we did what we wanted and our mom really did not care. I think it is more about how you raise your kids. It is also important to remind parents that their children are going to have certain experiences whether they like it or not. Some things in life and on the internet all kids do whether it is bad or good and once you do it you get over it and move on to the next thing. I would let my teenagers have a computer in their room and I want my children to know they can be open with me. I am open with my parents and I tell them everything because they are pretty cool parents and do not hassle be about much so I feel comfortable.

    This article is informative and is up to the parent, their situation , their child and what circumstances you have going on in your home on answering the question of the article. I really liked the article and the views in it.

    I grew up with a computer in my room. I would use it to create things in paint and to play my educational games on. I do not think that having a computer in your child's room is a bad thing. it allows for the children to get used to how to use computers. This article gives different view points on this topic and gives good evidence to support the sides.
  • Kelsey Short on 02 Oct 13
     
    I think for a child to have a computer in their room at home depends on the age and maturity of the child. Some children would just sit around all day on their computer on facebook, playing World of Warcraft, or other unproductive activities. If the purpose of the computer is mostly for educational uses or the child is old enough to make their own choices then it would be fine to have the computer in their room.
  • Bailey Berry on 03 Oct 13
     
    I didn't have a computer in my room but I was really the only person to use it besides my mom. she used it for business and emails and i used it for paint, educational games, and pinball. If I had had it in my room I can only imagine I would have spent more time on it. I also agree that having a computer in the room of a child is dependent on age and maturity but it almost seems as if in today's society children need quick access to the internet and age or maturity isn't a huge factor. But this is coming from a girl how didn't get a Facebook until she was nineteen. So i shy away from introducing social networking to younger kids but now that I've seen some of the school controlled networks, I think they could be beneficial and having a computer in their own room would probably make them more comfortable using it.
  • Laura Chapman on 03 Oct 13
     
    personally I don't think children should have computers in their rooms. If they are going to have one, I think they should have them in a centrally located spot where the child can be supervised. However that is my opinion and I liked how this article talked about it being case by case, and depending on the child and or the parents, and the intended use of the computer.
  • Sarah Clark on 03 Oct 13
     
    I agree with Laura that children should not have computers in their rooms, it should be located where parents can actively see what their children are doing. But I did like how the article highlighted about the dependence on the family situations.

  • Carefully consider the ways in which video or other media that you share with your class are aligned with your learning objectives
  • Be sure that the technology that you intend to use is accessible to your students.
  • do consider whether or not your students have access to technology that you want them to use.

  • 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.

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
      kristel coulter on 27 Sep 13
       
      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.

  • 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.

    I think the assessment part of the article can be very helpful for teachers. If teachers have time to use software and programs to calculate grades and keep track of student progress that would save time and be very helpful. this could help parents, as well. Sometimes schools provide things like that for teachers to use.

  • Challenge 2: resistance to change.
  • Challenge 4: delivering informal learning. Related to challenge 3, rigid lecture-and-test models of learning are failing to challenge students to experiment and engage in informal learning. But, according to the report, opportunities for such informal learning can be found in non-traditional classroom models, such as flipped classrooms, which allow for a blending of formal and informal learning.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Challenge 3: MOOCs and other new models for schooling.
  • Challenge 5: failures of personalized learning. According to the report, there's a gap between the vision of delivering personalized, differentiated instruction and the technologies available to make this possible. So while K-12 teachers seem to see the need for personalized learning, they aren't being given the tools they need to accomplish it, or adequate tools simply don't exist.
  • Challenge 6: failure to use technology to deliver effective formative assessments.
  • However, there is still an assessment gap in how changes in curricula and new skill demands are implemented in education; schools do not always make necessary adjustments in assessment practices as a consequence of these changes.

    This article examines a few of the same challenges I face personally with the use of technology in MY future classroom. As a fairly tech functional person, I fail to see the relevance of "high tech" in a math class. I am minimally accepting a few items, however, I personally this semester am struggling with a college math course because my own learning style cannot compute the excessive use of technology for a lower level math course. I love math and enjoy the challenges, but I fail to see how selecting one problem for a set and uploading a picture to BB for other students to correct is in any way useful.

    This article definitely asks some good questions but I'm not sure that they answered all of the completely. There is a lot that needs to go into an online classroom like the teachers need to have a completely different type of training if they are going to teach online and not in the classroom. how do you keep a child engaged when they are not right there with you? Also the student needs to have the ambition to do the work. I know for myself that having online classes is not an option because I become distracted and for a teen or younger the number of distraction in the world is countless.

    I so enjoyed reading this article about new ideas of learning with students. It is imperative that we, as future teachers, learn to engage students where they are at and also where they are going. It's incredible to think how fast computers and technology have changed our lives, however this fast-paced world of new gizmos and gadgets is the "norm" for our students. When the article talked about, "The school hardly seems like it would be ground zero for high-tech educational innovation. It occupies a clean but unremarkable building on a quiet wooded street near a seemingly endless series of strip malls. Many of the teachers, and almost the entire corps of key technology leaders, are older women -- not your stereotypical technology mavens. Yet these veteran educators are living proof that success lies not in the flashiness of the gizmos you have but in how well you use them." It will be critical that we keep up with the ever-changing types of technology so that we can best serve our students.

    Looking to add visual interest to your lesson? Pinterest may be your solution! The article suggests ways in which this visual social media site can be used in the classroom and promotes SPACE - an acronym that helps students to remember the "best" uses for the site. This is interesting in terms of reaching students with varied learning styles and intelligences, developing creativity and higher order thinking, and more. However, like most tools the site does have its downfalls. It tends to be more engaging for females than males, which brings about an interesting gender debate. Its use also falls into fuzzy copyright issues - none of which are different from other social media sites. Check out the article & let me know what you think!
  • anonymous on 16 May 12
     
    Until Pinterest addresses the nudity and pornography that can pop up on the "everything" catergory, I can't recommend this site for class projects. I've banned my own children from it (both of my daughters have a board on my own account) and wish desperately that I could unsee some of the images I've seen. It seems like copyright might be the least of their worries if lewd content continues to surface. It's really too bad - I have to agree that it could be great for group or individual projects.

    This article supports my opinion in several ways, I strongly believe in interactive whiteboards aka Smartboards and introducing netbooks and laptops into the education system. I do believe that schools need to buy netbooks for the students and use them like textbooks, you receive it and you keep it in good shape and return it at the end of the year. This would help close the social status gap and equalize opportunities for all students.

    Here is an article that discusses how games can be integrated into the classroom and be used for learning purposes using technology such as computers and augmented reality devices. It also discusses the challenges that they have faced creating and implementing these games into a learning environment and the challenges that they feel they'll have to face to make it more successful.

    Great article. Chris Dede is brilliant - I've been studying with him the last two semesters and have played Alien Contact. In fact, I am currently working on developing an augmented reality tour of the Black Heritage Trail in Boston. If you are interested in learning more about AR and VR, you may want to check out these videos: http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/learning/LD2-6-107.html and http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/learning/LD2-3.html

    I like this article because it shows that no matter where you come from, how small a community, you are important and can teach others a thing or two. This is an excellent example of using video conferencing.

    Kristy shared this with our 203 group. Students can make a "virtual" poster for a class project and incorporate you tube videos, pictures, sounds, etc. Very creative and unique! I will definitely use this website. I think it would work well with groups or individuals.

    How do you attach the stuff? I would like to maybe use this in the future, but not too much. Posters probably get old after a while.

    Great videos that demo augmented reality, Chris Dede (Harvard), one of the leaders in the field, talks about what he envisions as the future of this technology.  Overall, a page of great info to introduce you to the educational potential of this tool.
