Technology in Ece

What WorksBY: Abbey Hill

RESEARCH says…

Technology is beneficial for children in Early Childhood Education

Use of computers enhances social, language, and cognitive skills

Studies highlight the opportunities for language use and social interaction that technology offers, along with increased motivation for children

Computers also make possible experiences and representations that cannot take place in the real world, providing new experiences and improved understanding

POSITIVE examples of technology in the classroom

• MAKE and DISPLAY a graph

• EXPLORE with DIGITAL tools

• Tell a STORY

• WRITE, RECORD, and REVISIT

MAKE and DISPLAY a graph

Use graphing programs

Ex: Excel or Powerpoint or the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives

Students collect meaningful information and data

Teacher builds physical graph first and then uses technology to create digital graph for students to view

Visual representation of data helps them to understand information in a new way
