Educational Technology has often been a topic that I would consistently avoid within the classroom. Because I teach in Early Childhood, it is difficult to due the research to find developmentally appropriate uses for technology. The technology department at the school has spend many meetings within our early childhood building, and each time it seems that they were pushing materials, such as smart boards, that would have little use other than collecting dust.
I am excited to be learning ways to explore and create technological teaching and communication tools on my own, making me less dependent on the busy people in the technology department. Much of the material we have covered thus far, including the website and the blog, are of high importance to me because I have been thinking of updating the way I communicate with families.
For the future, I would love to be able to review a list technological tools that are developmentally appropriate for stated ages. This could help teachers narrow down the vast search of classroom tools, making it less daunting.
