My goals for this course would be for me to get a better understanding of how technology works with children. I really don't know much with technology and children but I do know a thing or to about children. I know they love things dealing with technology with all these ipods, e-mails, chat rooms, game systems and ipads are the things they all grow to love and can't get enought of, and I feel if we can get an better understanding maybe can help them learn threw somethings they enjoy doing. But I hope to gain a better understanding by the time this class is over on Teaching with Technology to children.
I would also like to have a better understanding of how technology works with children. I know a little about technology. I do think that it is important for children to learn about technology because of how advance society has gotten and how much they depend on technology
ReplyDeleteI would also like to learn new ways to integrate technology into teaching young children. In my eyes, a three or four year old would not be able to use all the technology that we are going to learn about in this course. If we start teaching children to use the internet and other technological resources, we must also monitor them more closely to make sure they are safe.

ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised at what kind of technology our 3-4 year olds are exposed to and able to work. No, they may not be able to create a blog, but what what if you used it to record their thoughts for them or used it to communicate with their parents? Research has shown that the earlier kids are exposed to technology, the easier it is for them to pick up other technology later. Just like it is better to expose children to another language before age 10 when their brains get set with their primary language sounds. What if we use technology to expose them to other language and sounds?
