- 2. How to Successfully Integrate Technology: General Guidelines For effective use in ECE: When selecting technology it is important to choose material that is Developmentally Appropriate. Technology should be used in addition to hands-on learning. Technology should involve many senses and include sound, music, and voice. -“Early Connections” Picture found at: https://www.ocps.net/cs/services/cs/currareas/earlychild/PublishingIm ages/portalfp.jpg
- 3. Enhancing Language and Literacy Development Picture found at: http://www.toddnorvell.com/keyboard.GIF -”Technology in Early Childhood Education: Finding the Balance”
- 4. Technology Enhances Language When technology in a classroom is set up to encourage interaction, language development increases. Computer play encourages longer, more complex speech and development of fluency. Children tend to narrate what they are doing as they draw pictures or move objects around on the screen - thus, allowing practice for the development of language. -”Technology in Early Childhood Education: Finding the Balance” Picture found at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/media/mouth_247x165.jpg
- 5. Technology Enhances Literacy Picture found at: http://z.about.com/d/pediatrics/1/0/p/M/writing_name_letters.jpg Writing on a computer allows children to compose and revise text without being distracted by the fine motor aspects of letter formation. Telling a story digitally children increase their understanding that print carries a message and they will love to see their type- written creations. -”Technology in Early Childhood Education: Finding the Balance”
- 6. Programs to Use With Young Children Clifford’s Interactive Storybooks Activities found at http://teacher.scholastic.com/clifford1/index.htm provide many opportunities for children to increase and practice skills pertaining to phonemic awareness. Great for a technology center activity!
- 7. Programs to Use With Young Children Help Zac Write Letter This activity found at http://www.starfall.com/n/holida http://www.starfall.com/n/holid capitalizes on using technology to help children focus on the writing process. Helps children understand forms and functions of print (letter writing) and syntactical rules.
Notes de l'éditeur
- In order for software to be developmentally appropriate, it should encourage exploration, imagination, and problem solving. The technology you use in your classroom should build upon the knowledge and experience gained during hands-on experience. Children learn best when all the senses are incorporated into their learning; building on hands-on experience (including smell, touch, and taste) with technology (involving sound, sight, and voice) allows for this full sensory experiences.<number>
- In this way, technology builds on and expounds, not detracts from learning and development. It is a teachers job to ensure that technology is used in a developmentally appropriate manner and that it allows for much social interaction to promote language development.<number>
- -Place two seats in front of a computer, place computers in close proximity to one another, etc.-Utilize play on the computer as a topic of conversation for children. Computer play is engaging and will motivate children to engage in social interactions with peers.<number>
- -Typing on a word processor, or dictating to a proficient adult who types their story allows children to see their written ideas in a different form, particularly the form they have seen in picture books. This allows children to focus on the process of writing and grow to love getting their ideas “down on paper.”- Using pictures and words to tell a story expounds children’s understanding the print carries a message in different mediums (in books and on a technological screen).<number>
- If the teacher set up the computer center in the classroom so that two children could work on these activities together, children could work together to create new words using phonemes they have learned, and teach each other words and less familiar phonemes, thus allowing children to build their vocabulary, practice expressive language skills, and learn to cooperate and collaborate. These specific activities ask children to replace vowels in words to create new words and to practice alliteration in classifying words by their first sound.<number>
- For this activity children work with Zac to write a letter to someone. Children interactively work with Zac to compose the letter, choosing which words to include in this type-written letter. This activity would work best for children working individually, as it’s focus is more on the writing process and increasing understanding of literacy than on social interaction. Children are able to focus on the writing process rather than worrying about whether their spelling or letter formation is correct.<number>
