Technology used in Kindergarten
In the integration corner of chapter two I found a website about teaching kindergarten students about and how to use the computer. The website talks about a teacher in Kansas, what she uses to teach her students about the computer. She starts out by teaching them to click and drag objects on the computer with the mouse. Then she moves on to teaching them on a program called Kid Pix Studio Deluxe. This program let Kindergarteners draw shapes and figures with the mouse and learning how to use the technology and to learn to make shapes at the same time. She explains many other different ways she integrated the technology into the class. They learn how to quit and start up the programs that are using in the classroom and for future programs they use. They learn to write their names with the pencils on that same program, which is helping them with technology and how to spell at the same time. The program will also teach them their colors by using the paint and coloring in sections of shapes they draw. But I think this program is useful because its helping the teacher teach the students shapes, colors, spelling, and how to use the technology all in one.
