Journal 7. Technology in the Early Childhood classroom

The article by Elizabeth Ross Hubbell, Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom, was a really good one to read because i agree and think that if we teach and train our students at an early age to use technology, then they are more prepare for what they see outside of school. For example, they might get an idea of how to use a new skill learn in class at home. But some people disagree because it is not appropriate because it will cause "unwired" brains.

I think that by using Kidspiration, BBC Little Animals activity Centre, and Get Ready to Read sites we are introducing an appropriate technology for students to gain experience, skills, and knowledge.

I assumed that students gain a better knowledge when they are pair up with a higher student grade level because they will work together to correct and make opinions about a designated class assignment.

Why do people opposed to teach technology to early childhood classroom?

I think that people opposed to teach technology to early childhood because they are developing their brain and knowledge. but i think that we could teach them simple, easy lessons about technology because we can prepare students for future experiences.

What grade level should teachers start teaching technology to students?

Teachers should start introducing small pieces of technology to students at an early age that way they can start building up knowledge for future experiences, skills, and knowledge.
