Technology in young kids classrooms (A)

The article I found is about integrating technology into classrooms with young kids. It talks about how it is the teacher’s job to find ways to use technology to teach young kids. They have to find the right ways to use technology to teach children and they must find the benefits of teaching young students with technology. This article states that technology can be used to establish the diversity in the students. Teachers should use the technology given as a tool to communicate not only among professionals like themselves but use it as a tool for teaching all sort of children. The teacher must find ways to use it with every child and find ways to use it with special needs children as well as the different ages.
This article puts a lot of emphasis on it’s the teachers responsibility. I don’t agree with that. I think it that it is everyone’s job in the school system to integrate technology. It should be the job of the teacher, principle, school board, parents, and all else involved to learn how to use the technology with young kids. I found this article helpful to me in the fact that I want to teach second graders and I didn’t know how I would incorporate technology into the class. This article gave me several ideas of how to do so and proved to me that classrooms with young students in them can use technology.
