      This is a good point regarding technology in classrooms. This is true, one wrong click on a website and it can lead to inappropriate material for these young children.

    This is a very interesting website. It provides good points to why technology might not be a good thing to have in classrooms nowadays, or not to have technology for the really young children (such as the Pre-K students)
