Week 10 Technology Videos

While watching the three videos about technology in the classroom, one thing that I noticed was how the teachers said that the students learned to use the technology quickly. Even the very young kindergarten students without previous computer experience were able to effectively learn and use basic computer skills. In the videos the children appeared to be very comfortable using the classroom computers and software. I found it interesting that the third grade class was navigating the internet and learning about copyright laws. These students are getting a great start in learning about the uses of technology. In addition, the technology can help students create a connection with their parents and families. The students see how computer use is becoming integrated into our society. They lose their fear of it and it becomes another tool in their reserve. As they need to increasingly use computers in their schoolwork, it becomes a natural part of their abilities.
