    This is a nice article about how teachers of Language Arts can incorporate the use of technology in their classrooms. Usually, we think of Language Arts classrooms as being only about books, but there are many programs, like Prezi and PowerPoint, that we can use to put presentations together.

    I have met some of the best and worst people through pen pal writing, so guess what I hope for my future students to do (especially when we get to the Jane Austen stuff)? I love it when I hear of English teachers that incorporate pen pal writing into their lesson plans, especially if the recievers of the pen pal writing are from foriegn lands. Not only are they taking a stab at their English skills, but dealing with different kinds of people of different cultures. The different kinds of people that were talked about in this article were eighth grades becoming pen pals with senior citizens. Some just did the homework, other ended up making long lasting friendships.

The kindergarten students even use them for graphing their morning lunch count, and then they create questions pertaining to the information on the graph. There are just so many possibilities!

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.

      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.

    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.

    Create great looking avatars for your website or social network. This website is great for middle childhood students. It allows the students to make little avatars. It can be used for books or just for fun. If using it for a book one can take a character out of his or her own book and create an Avatar for that character.

    I found this article interesting because it made me think about what would happen if all students had laptops in the younger grades. The teachers would then have another problem of making sure the students weren't playing games, and that any Internet communications were school appropriate.
