Young children have much to gain from the use of technology. In prekindergarten, they expand their ability to acquire information, solve problems, and communicate with others. Regular access and exposure to computers and related technology can enhance this learning. Children use engaging, age‐appropriate, and challenging software; and technology to extend their knowledge and to enrich their learning of curriculum content and concepts. These technologies serve as important learning tools and are integrated throughout the instructional program. Children learn how technology can enhance our lives. Technology includes computers, voice/sound recorders, televisions, digital cameras, personal digital assistants, and MP3 devices or iPODs. Surrounded by technology, children can benefit from becoming aware of and interacting with voice/sound recorders and other technology that may be available. They develop techniques for handling and controlling various devices, becoming increasingly confident and independent users of age appropriate technologies. At the end of the school year each student should be able to:
- open and navigate through software programs designed to enhance
- the development of appropriate concepts.
- use and name a variety of computer input devices, such as mouse, keyboard, voice/sound recorder, touch screen, CD‐ROM.
- Operate voice/sound recorders and touch screens.
- Use software applications to create and express own ideas.
- recognizes that information is accessible through the use of technology
