Dearest colleagues:
Forgive the silence on my end- I have been so busy with my writing, revisions and travel that time has been flying by. I have been spending a bit of time exploring the intersection of technology and education- one of my great interests.
A few sites I am enjoying and you should check out as well:
http://www.brainpop.com/
http://www.khanacademy.org/
I think we are just at the beginning of exploring and developing this space and the research on the benefits to young children are clear (taken from the NAEYC position statement)
Used appropriately technology can enhance children’s cognitive and social abilities
I have attached the rest of the position statement to this blog- check it out and let’s talk about how we can use technology to enhance our programs.
