Technology in Early Edcuation

I think using technology in early edcuation is a great idea. Not only for the teachers but also for the students. Computers is a great source of technology to use. At my preschool every wednesday a lady comes to show the children the keys on the keyboard and just has some fun games and activities for them to do. If three and four year olds are interested and being introduced to computers now imagaine what they will be like when they are in the second and third grade. Computers are a part of everyday life. It is very important for the children to learn how to use one. In public schools today the schools have designed a way for the parents to go online and to see what grades their children are making because the teachers will post them up online for every assignment turned in. That way the parent knows how their child is doing in school, so when the report card comes then they already know what to expect.
