5 ways to incorporate tech in early childhood

1. More use of smartboards in the preschool setting

2.Effective use of interactive video games that help reinforce concepts the young children were taught during formal instruction

3. Homework assignments for early childhood students that include linking them to an online activity

4.Creating a classroom web page that includes a weekly newsletter for parents to view online, so that students it is not lost if the child drops/loses the homework or parent folder.

5. Using older technology (like cameras) that the children can use to take pictures of their projects and creating their own digital art file (with the help of the teacher). The file could be given to the parents at the end of the year. Parents would love this. It is impossible to keep all of the artwork at home and they feel bad throwing it away.

 

 

 

About Me

My name is Lindsay Gracey. I am pursuing a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education with teaching certification. I hope to become a Pre-K or Kindergarten teacher. I am from the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. I moved to Oklahoma with my family last year because my husband's job was transferred.

I graduated from Villanova University with a Bachelor's degree in Communication and worked for a mutual fund company for 14 years prior to our cross country move. My husband and I met at work 10 years ago and have two little boys. Benjamin is 6 and Connor is 3. We live in Norman and have enjoyed getting to know our new town and state.

When I worked for the investment firm, my most recent position was RFP (Request for Proposal) Database Coordinator. I managed the database of template answers that our writers used when answering questionnaires bidding on new clients. I am familiar with access, WORD, excel, and powerpoint. I am less comfortable with newer technologies and am looking forward to learning new technology, as well as how to incorporate what I have learned into my future career.
