Using Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom - 0 views

  • The development of written language changed the way human beings developed, in large part by influencing brain development and expressed new brain-mediated capabilities that had previously been un-expressed.
  • Children need real-life experiences with real people to truly benefit from available technologies. Technologies should be used to enhance curriculum and experiences for children. Children have to have an integrated and well-balanced set of experiences to help them grow into capable adults that can handle social-emotional interactions as well as develop their intellectual abilities.

      Children need to have hands on experiences that will enhance their learning capabilities.
  • As parents think about the future they need to realize two things: technology is not going to go away and we are in the midst of a major sociocultural quantum shift. These technologies are revolutionizing the world our children will live in. So our task is to balance appropriate skill-development with technologies with the core principles and experiences necessary to raise healthy children. We must keep the core principles of healthy development in mind as we incorporate these technology and tools. If we do that we'll be fine. And at the heart of any healthy child is the opportunity for enriching and nurturing interactions with other human beings. I think the key to making technologies healthy is to make sure that we use them to enhance or even expand our social interactions and our view of the world as opposed to using them to isolate and create an artificial world.

      Children need to have balance. They need opportunities for using technology in the classroom; however, technology should not over take the educational goals.

  • In addition, there are a number of specialized programs that allow children with certain information-processing problems to get a multimedia presentation of content so that they can better understand and process the material. They are able to see the written words and see a visual image and hear the sounds — all at the same time. Combining these sensory-modalities helps a child to more efficiently internalize information about a topic. If they have, for example, an auditory processing difficulty or a reading disorder they may be very bright but they don't read very efficiently so if something is read to them on a CD-ROM with visual images they are better able to internalize the information. This helps these children feel better about themselves because they perform better. They're not as afraid of school anymore.

      For children who have a special need programs assist with the developmental need of that child. These programs help to build self esteem in children who have communication issues and have a difficult time processing information to be able to have a hands on approach to share their thoughts.

    This article talks about pros and cons with young children and using technology in the classroom. He says that it needs to be done at particular times and should take away from the social development that these children at this age are learning. Timing is everything to technology and children at a young age. Parents and teachers need to take in account, when they are using the technology application what are they missing out on? Social interactions, play time, nap time or just free time. This time could also be a time where the parent and the child can spend time together to learn and teach each other about what they are doing with the technology.

    This article gives us some reasons why we should be incorporating technology within our teaching strategies. One of the main reason is access. Our students are able to access the internet more then his/her teacher.

    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.

    I really liked this article on technology in education because I feel that it provides a lot of different reasons why we should be incorporating technology in the classroom. I think that with students having access to more they are able to learn more than what could be provided in the lesson.

    I agree with this article on the fact that allowing technology in the classroom increasing the depth of understanding. It allows for the student to be able to visually see problems being worked out, and they can access it whenever and where ever they want.

    This was a very interesting article about the pros and cons of technology. There are many good examples of how technology has improved student growth but at the same time an argument is made about keeping technology as we are laying off teachers and getting rid of jobs.

    In this technology-centric classroom, students are bent over laptops, some blogging or building Facebook pages from the perspective of Shakespeare's characters. One student compiles a song list from the Internet, picking a tune by the rapper Kanye West to express the emotions of Shakespeare's lovelorn Silvius.

    Interesting article about using iPads in schools. I have experienced working with young children and iPads and it has always been a success. This article promotes them and talks about some of their main uses to teach. On January 19, 2012, Apple made a significant announcement that could change the educational landscape forever. There are several parts to the announcement - one is a software application that enables anyone to create a 'text book' and the other is a distribution platform for textbooks inside of the already popular iBooks application (a free download that runs on the iPad or iPhone.).iBooks 2 is an upgrade to the iBooks application that is the primary reading application of iOS.

    In the 1980s, John L. Hennessy, then a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University, shook up the computer industry by taking the concepts of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) to the masses. Hennessy wrote papers, gave talks, designed chips, started companies, and even, literally, wrote the book (a textbook that's still used today).
