Using Technology in Primary Classrooms (santony posted on December 10th, 2012 )

There is no question that technology has become a common element in most children’s lives. Many school systems and child development programs have incorporated into their curriculum opportunities for children and teachers to become familiar and comfortable users of technology as a learning tool.

Visions of programmed instruction and electronic worksheets have caused teachers to fear that children will miss out on many key experiences that support their development if computer technology infiltrates teaching.
