The first connection that I will address is using a Computer;
rather it is a laptop or a desktop this technical device can be used to advance
a child’s knowledge by assigning those websites to help them in every subject.
Even for a child in Speech-Language Pathology a child could use a computer to
advance their reading which does better their speech. Laptop computers are
still being technically advanced; there will always be a reason for this device
in the classroom to advance students learning.
The next connection that gets used in education today is
Tablets. Tablets are miniature computers that use touch-screen controls and can
access the internet through mobile network companies. Tablets are one of the
best ways a child learns these days, they have them from that ages 2 years and
up. With all the different kinds of tablets out there every child could start Elementary
already knowing some things that is taught in that first year. Tablets are a
great invention, and a great way for children to discover the world around them
at the youngest ages possible. Just a short few decades ago we could not even
imagine using a technical device until almost a teenager; now toddlers are
using them. I am proud to become a teacher and use tablets as a resource for me
and my students.
The last connection is smart phones and their use in the
classrooms the way that a child can capture what he is taught and the way he
can learn things right away with a small phones that can act like a big
computer. Smart phones is an amazing way to solve the problem of children not
learning everything they are suppose to because they are afraid of asking a
question because of peers, or the teacher. Having the smart phone device close
to a child can learn what they do not understand, and even can help them
mentally understand what they was taught in school that day and be able to show
there parents when they arrive home. Instead of every child worst fear; the
question “So what did you learn in school today?”
You got your first blog post submitted - YAY! :) And you added a few YouTube videos and hyperlinks as well - great practice in making your text more engaging with interactive multimedia.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to imagine how much has been accomplished with regards to technology use in just the past decade. They say that the changes are moving at an exponential pace and I would have to agree. I hope that the digital divide when some don't have the same personal devices interferes with the learning opportunities.
