Too Much, Too Fast? (5)

I read an article from the National Association of Elementary School Teachers and I discovered that there is a lot of investigation taking place when it comes to children and technology. I related this to the discussion that we had in class on Monday, where we talked about how children in our generation are involved and surrounded by a little too much technology that may become rather overwhelming. As a young adult in this same generation, I am surprised by the knowledge that these kids have picked up so quickly. In my opinion, it may be a little too young. There is nothing wrong with using a game system or ipad every once in a while for enjoyment; however, it seems as though the kids are as addicted to technology as we are...and what does a 4 year old really have to talk about on a cell phone?

Too much, too fast?

This article discussed some interesting facts about young learners and their digital tool availability. They also come up and talk about some cool ways to introduce tech. to a young learner.
