Technology in the Classroom

Picture
In our ECD classrooms we allow exploration of technology as a means to develop our students interests, engagement and creativity.
Students and teachers utilize ipads for a variety of activities, which include taking videos and photos, creating presentations, stories or ebooks, documenting child development or child-made creations and engaging with apps.

The NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) recommends the following Technology Tools and Interactive Media uses:
  • Allow children to freely explore touch screens loaded with a wide variety of developmentally appropriate interactive media experiences that are well designed and enhance feelings of success.
  • Provide opportunities for children to begin to explore and feel comfortable using the ipads to look things up with a search engine.
  • Capture photos of block buildings or artwork that children have created; videotape dramatic play to replay for children.
  • Celebrate children’s accomplishments with digital media displayed on a digital projector or on a classroom Website.
  • Incorporate assistive technologies as appropriate for children with special needs and/or developmental delays.
  • Record children’s stories about their drawings or their play; make digital audio or video files to document their progress.
  • Explore digital storytelling with children. Co-create digital books with photos of the children’s play or work; attach digital audio files with the child as the narrator.
