a continued reflection on technologies

I think technology is great tool that children need to be exposed to. I am concerned at a preschool level that its mostly looking up pictures, music and showing videos. I know many of the children I work with are exposed to computers at home and worry the the screen time is not needed at school. Which is mostly why i look to use to send things home for the children to look at.
I also find that many of they apps and websites we learned about are great for grade school, and I look forward to seeing Rena use it with her 2nd and 3rd graders who will understand how the apps work and will be able to make some beautiful videos, movies and documentations.
This has been an amazing opportunity though and I intend to use many of the technologies I have learned about to connect learning in the classroom and extend it to learning at home. It has also given me insight in to new ways to use the blogging system that we already use in the school.
In reading some of the past fellow preschool blog post their are many suggestion that I also look to explore with the Ipad such as timeline and documenting the year in more then just a blog.
