Introducing the Book Video

It was actually comical seeing how someone could not manipulate a book. Now everything is on computers. If you need information or want to read a newspaper, you can do it on a computer. It was funny seeing how hard it was for him to understand how to use a book, but to him it must have been confusing and frustrating. It was like someone trying to operate a computer and not knowing how it works. Opening a book and saving information in it compared tp a computer, turing a page of a book compared to clicking to the next page on a computer. Everything children learn today they do with technology. The way we had to learn to use a book is how children will learn the new technology. It's the same concept.

Why We Need to Teach Technology in Schools?

In the world today it is extremely important to teach technology. Technology is a part of children's everyday lives. Technology is consistently integrated into the curriculum helps the child's learning process. Technology is consistently changing and if you don't keep up with it, you can get lost. I feel technology should be incorporated into the curriculum because children get motivated and excited multimedia. It also encourges life-long learning.


To All Have A Happy Thanksgiving!
