Using Technology with Young Children

If I have learned anything while doing my cohort, it has been that students learn better when they are actively participating in the learning process. When I lecture the whole time, they fall asleep. They love to be my volunteers, to do anything where they get to move and interact. Using technology to teach is so engaging for our students. They get to use their eyes, and their ears. They get to explore and discover. These different clips showed how technology allowed students to be the scientists. Technology is so easily integrated into geography, biology, literacy (reading), teaching patterns, writing and drawing, assessments, or internet communication. Also, technology is something our students can pick up computers quickly. It is a fun way for them to learn and they excel. And using technology requires lot of thinking skills. And most importantly, it helps teach students how to access information from different electronic resources which is a skill they will use for the rest of their lives.
