This article show how technology is being brought into the early childhood classrooms to promote 21st century learning. Children are learning to identify numbers and emotions through pictures and sounds while using technology to support their learning.
This article was interesting because it shows how technology is being pushed into classrooms of all ages. It doesn’t matter the age of the children, technology is becoming a part of their curriculum. You don’t need to know how to read and write to be able to use technology efficiently, preschoolers are learning to wake a computer from sleep, double click and start applications. Programs are designed to help foster learning and keep them engaged. Parent and president of Imagine Tomorrow, Laura St. John, thinks because young children learn so quickly, they should be challenged more.
I agree that technology can be used for all ages. It is a wonderful tool that enhances all students learning in literacy and other curriculums. It is a fun and interesting way for students to learn.
