Early+Childhood+Education+Technology

Technology can be very useful in classrooms for young children. Since the brain has the astounding ability of changing in response to new experiences, having children learn from teachers who are using computer software programs can help to enhance their motor skills as a young child. Although modern technology can never replace real-life experiences with people, visually presented information, such as movies, computer programs, etc., can all help to develop children's curiosity, independent thinking skills and problem solving abilities. Dr.Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D specializes in child brain development and believes that by using CD-ROM's with visual images can help with auditory processing difficulties and reading disorders, just to name a few areas that technology can help students with.

In Hutchinson Middle School there is a new inovation called SMARTboard. This board was used to pick up on different means to assist children in their learning. On the board the teacher was able to download lessons directly from the textbook and then onto the screen. This enabled the students to use their "marker" and draw directly on the board.

A new way to aid in teaching math is through the use of mathlets. Mathlets is an interactive resource which provides different tools and formulas for the students to understand the principles in math. There is even a way to create a lesson on JavaScript to creative interactive figures with "GeoGebra."
