Thanks Megan for your comment! I am glad you found this topic eye-opening. Children can sometimes be too young to use technology in the classroom, and I hope this article and my future articles will be of interest to Megan and the other contributors. I really liked Megan's comment, and I am glad she thought it was important to give her own opinion. Thanks again, Megan!
Now Megan's comment brings up a great idea: grade-appropriate technology use. I believe technology is the future of education, but we can't forget the "old-school" way of learning, either. Smaller children need to focus on the basic learning elements: reading, writing, and simple math. Technology can not me too overwhelming for them or the students will be lost in the simple studies. Also, Megan asks the question if I would use computers in my future classroom and have my students use computers at home. I believe using computers at home is very important, if possible, because it allows students to learn at their own pace and do what makes them feel comfortable. On the other hand, computer use in the classroom needs to be limited in the early grades. Computers can be distracting and confusing for them. Megan, I am going to look for more articles about young children using technology at home and in the classroom.
