I was given the task of developing a research question for a research simulation project. The topic that I chose to use for my research simulation is “Specific uses of technology in the classroom.” I would like to learn about new and innovative ways that teachers are incorporating technology in the early childhood classroom. Today children are very familiar with technology because it is an everyday part of their lives. I believe that there are ways that technology can be incorporated into the classroom to make the learning experience for fun and interesting for students.
So far I have found three articles that were very interesting. These articles had a lot of useful information about how technology can be used in the classroom. I hope to find more resources pertaining to my topic. Does anyone have any good resources about technology and its place in the classroom that I should look into for my research project?
I find the technology debate a good one. I was just talking with a kindergarten teacher about how children don't even know how to use little scissors anymore because they spend too much time playing video games. Although technology is so important, I feel there is a fine line between enough, and too much. I look forward to following your blog.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love you topic!! I wonder sometimes if children are being exposed to to much technology in school. It seems like they are becoming more and more dependent on iPods, iPads, and computers. What happen to researching the old fashion way in the library one book at a time? I will be very excited to read you thoughts and what you are able figure out about this topic. I agree technology is important and if children are going to be exposed to it I believe it is important that they are taught the proper and safe way of utilizing technology.
