Using technology in my classroom is not only a fun addition to my scholars learning process but also a very vital and valuable part of education. Technology isn’t a teaching substitute, but a valuable aid that introduces children to new ways of thinking and working. Plus, it’s a great introduction to resources that they are likely to use in the future. The best classrooms incorporate technology into regular lessons that develop students’ higher order thinking skills, promote creativity, and facilitate academic learning. Students are at various levels of understanding in core subject areas and it’s not always an easy task for kindergarten teachers to consistently assess each child’s strengths and weaknesses. Many kindergarten classrooms have access to computer labs or other methods of technology but sadly our class does not. We have a total of 3 computers for 24 students, which is not enough technology for them to get the full emerged experience. If granted with more technology, students can work at their own pace, receiving remediation when needed or moving ahead for a challenge. Technology can enhance their learning experience and provide differentiation for all my student so they each reach their personalized goals.
