The ever changing classroom

HOW & WHY ARE CLASSROOM CHANGING, IS IT FOR THE BEST?

Technology has taken over!!

All grades pre-k through 12 are using technology now

Can be a very useful TOOL but be

careful not to let it take over

Children have become so accustomed to this type of learning

Technology for the younger children isn’t bad, it’s just new and unfamiliar to the teachers.

Parents are able to connect with their children’s schooling life so much easier with new media.

The students aren’t the only ones benefitting from the new technology.

Teachers have a better means of communicating with parents.

Posting videos of them doing projects, posting pictures Etc.

A world consumed by media.

The question comes up: “how will our students know how to function in a technological world if they don’t know how to incorporate technology into their lives?”

So true!!! How will they learn if they are never taught?

Teaching new media responsibly for early & childhood educators

• Young children learn through play

• All developmental domains need to be stimulated simultaneously for learning to occur
