Technology in Early Education

I definitely think using technology the right way in early chilhood education is a great idea. I found an article supporting my idea. The article talks more about using computers in the classroom. The ways this can helop is: social and emotional development, language development, physical well-being development, motor development, cognition and general knowledge. After looking at that list, what do you think is missing? In my opinion I think nothing is left out. Using computers helps all of these things approve. Some people have grown up not know how to use a computer at all. That is because computers were not as big as they are now. Our kids will know how to do and use things on the computer way better than we will probably ever know. But, like I said earlier, when used the right way I think they are a great idea. By the right way I mean, the computers should not take away from any social interaction and conversation with other students. All in all, I think using computers early on is a great idea!
