IP&T WEEK 11

We are in class and are required to read an article about how to use technology in the early childhood classroom. As I read I will write down things I like or find interesting:

This comes from the article called "Technology in Early Childhood Education: Finding the Balance"
Technology provides opportunities for children to enhance their language development and their social interactions. One big positive thing about technology in the classroom is it helps motivate young children to learn. Technology needs to be set up and used correctly in the classroom. It should not replace human interactions or group activities such as shared reading. If it is used correctly it will enhance language development. It can also help social interactions. One way the article suggests you can do this is to put two chairs in front of a computer and require the students to work together on an activity.

One article talks about using technology to make a graph, tell a story, take pictures, and much much more!
