Week 10

I learned a lot from the three different videos I watched about technology in the classroom. The three videos were titled Habitats,Brown bear brown bear,and I love spiders. In each of this videos, it showed the children using technology to learn about these different subjects. You could really see their excitement as their learning was hands on and interactive. In the spider video, children used cameras to take pictures of the different spiders they saw outside of the classroom. They enjoyed hunting for the spiders and also being able to take their picture. Later, the teacher explained how kids from Missouri were going to send them pictures of the spiders they found in nature, and how this class would do the same. It was a fun way to learn about the different spiders across the country, and they used technology to do this. In the Brown Bear and Habitats project, the children worked in groups on the computer drawing and creating images through the different tools on the computer. The teacher mentioned how the children felt a sense of accomplishment when they were able to see the work they did on the computer, and when it was made into a book. The technology used in these classrooms was fun and educational for these students and I think it is a very important part in a young child's life.
