Technology in Elementary School.

Here is an article that gives suggestions on how teachers can incorporate technology into their elementary school classrooms. After reading this article, there were definitely some good suggestions. Most schools try to focus on incorporating technology into their high school and maybe middle school. This shows that technology can be used even with elementary students. I liked how they warned teachers to use technology to enhance the material they want to teach. They further explained that technology should not be used just to say they used technology. They also mentioned how you can give students clickers so that the teacher can see what they are learning. I have never really thought about doing this for younger students. But it really does make sense. You are increasing the active student responding that will keep the kids engaged... and they will probably have fun doing it too! It was also nice that they mentioned that at Forest Lake Elementary (the school the article is written about), none of the technology equipment had been broken beyond repair! I think this is something that a lot of teachers may be worried about. Even the younger kids value technology and want to take good care of the equipment.
