Narration: The picture depicts how technology has

changed over time. Things like the telephone, camera and
typewriter are being used less and less during this day and
age. We no longer even use address books anymore because
everything can be found on their smartphones.
Technology is developing at a rapid rate and more and more
children are being exposed at a really early age. Some
students come to school as young as preschool knowing how
to manipulate these devices.

children feel comfortable using technology and why not use
this as a strength to enhance their learning capability and
knowledge

Narration: ABCya, ABC Mouse, Tellagami, and a multitude of many more apps
that can be utilized. There are also apps that can be used with the parents to keep
them up to date on what is going on with their childs education. Class Dojo is a
prime example of this. Parents, teachers, and students are all connected. Each can
see the progress that is taking place and what needs to be worked on. Collaborative
conversations can take place and various notes and praises also can be completed in
this app.

Integration into Curriculum

Title/Captions: none

Narration: Technology is only growing and developing as time

goes on. Using this technique as a teaching tactic will only enhance
the delivery of the content being taught. If we start our students early
using these devices for education then students are more likely to use
these for educational development rather than just using technology
devices for games or other features that may block their educational
development.

Narration:As educators in the 21st century we must embrace

that changes that are occurring at a rapid pace. Students are
developing and learning in this time period and we need to use
what they understand to fully get the content and knowledge
being taught to the students. Students learn in various ways and
this is one that is growing. Learners in all grades are using this as
a teaching tactic to try to get through to the students in the
classroom.

Conclusion
Title/Captions: none

Narration: Starting our children young and using this as a

teaching aid allows educators to take advantage of what
students are already interested in to their benefit by enabling
our students to use technology as part of their education.
Once they are started at a young age they will be more prone
to pick up on other technology that is used in higher grades.
Students will start to build on other technology apps and
succeed through the rest of their grades. Integrating
technology in the classroom will greatly benefit our students
and educators should embrace this as a teaching strategy to
get on our students level at an early age.
