Technology for Littles
Technology is here to stay, and our PreK-2nd graders are energetic and enthusiastic about using it! To ensure technology is appropriate and young students have positive experiences, it is important to understand best practices and principles. In this course, you will articulate your beliefs about this age group's use of technology in the classroom, and “tinker” with a variety of tech tools, explore the many aspects of digital citizenship and internet safety. Learn about the SAMR (Substitute, Augment, Modify, Redefine) model, then select your pathway for adding apps and tools for teaching and learning into your professional practice. Design checklists and visual organizers that guide students in tech basics like logging on, passwords, and charging devices. Impact impressionable learners by creating activities that demonstrate how equity, accessibility, and social-emotional learning are influenced by technology, and celebrate the joy and discovery tech brings!
