It was interesting to see the very simple ways that technology was used in these examples. The children used websites, cameras, CDs, and drawing software. These aren’t overly big, intrusive activities they’re doing here. It didn’t take the teachers a ridiculous amount of time to prepare. And it was really exciting for the kids!
I loved the approach to the I Love Spiders project. Kids were given the chance to explore on their own and make meaning from their world. They weren’t just given information--they actually found their own spiders, and shared information with another class from another part of the country! That was an awesome activity for them to be able to share, and I’m sure that it helped bring the concepts they were studying to life.
It was also neat to see how easily the children were picking up the technology they were taught. They learned, and they explored, and they helped each other.
