Technology is ever-changing and ever-advancing! It is so exciting to see all of the changes in the schools all over the country just due to technology. In today's society, a teacher can be in a totally different part of the world, and teach students through a video camera on her computer. It's so amazing! I feel as though using computers in the classroom is so important, especially during the early childhood years. It exposes children to a great deal of abilities that they can use for the rest of their lives! I especially believe in aloowing the children to use to internet for educational purposes. In college, computers are used everyday; for example, at Auburn University, e-mail is the main form of communication between students and teachers. For this reason, students should be completely prepared in the elementary, middle, and high school years to use computers frequently. In elementary school, I think a great way for students to be exposed to computers is to let them play on educational websites. There are SO many different fun and educational websites that can entertain students forever! Teachers can send home a whole list for students to use at home, or allow them to get on these websites during their free time. I am a strong believer that learning can be fun, and I feel as though this is a great way for students to be interactive and productive at the same time!
