Teaching in the Digital Age: Smart Tools for Age 3 to Grade 3
Puerling, Brian
Redleaf Press
Integrate technology into your classroom and help children develop skills they need as they learn and grow. Technology is rapidly changing the ways we live our lives and interact with the world. It's also changing how you teach. Technology can enhance your classroom's complete curriculum and assessment and help you create and capture meaningful experiences, support inquiry, and expand your classroom's walls. "Teaching in the Digital Age" is a comprehensive framework that will help you select and use a variety of technology and interactive media tools in your classroom--including digital cameras, audio recorders, webcams, publication and presentation tools, and multi-touch mobile devices. Reflecting "Technology in Early Childhood Programs," the joint position statement of the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Fred Rogers Center, "Teaching in the Digital Age" includes: (1) Developmentally appropriate and effective strategies to use technology to facilitate children's learning; (2) 28 links to video clips that provide a deeper look at how these practices are used in real classrooms; and (3) 32 forms to help you plan, reflect on, and evaluate how you use technology to help children learn.
