Technologies in the Classroom
I use technology in my pre-K classroom at this time. I use computers, video, recorders, videos, a camera, and the Internet. I use the computers to show them how they can write words on the computer, such as their names and words from the letter of the week. We also have educational games, like Jump Start Phonics, Spanish, and a math game. We also have other non-educational games for the children to play as well, such as Putt-Putt, Winnie the Pooh, and Castle. In these programs there are useful
I use videos to show educational videos when our curriculum calls for maybe a unit on sea animals. The children listen to books on tape and we also use it to record them retelling a story we have been talking about with our curriculum. activities, such as getting from point A to point B through a maze, a Simon type game where you have to remember what order the colors flashed. Children love to have their pictures taken and I do a lot of this in my classroom. I also use it outside the classroom to show them about places I have visited and things I have seen, such as a windmill. I have seen some teachers use them for entertainment purposes not educational purposes. Not many children have seen one much less know what one is. The children love to see different types of animals, insects, the solar system, and people on the net. I also use a recorder in my listening center. I also use the Internet a lot in my classroom to look up things to go with my curriculum, such as different types of animals to show the children and also for information on the animals. I use it also to look up different lesson plans or activities for my children. The Internet is the most powerful tool I have used so far, it helps me out a lot in my classroom. I think videos are over used in the classroom.
