Chapter 8: Multi-Touch Mobile Devices Bring the World to Our Fingertips
Teachers mentioned how, nowadays, children are over stimulated with the speed that tech life offers. Children become impatient and show the need of being stimulated all the time. Immediacy.
We also reflected on how technology has a lot to offer when working with children with special needs.
Teachers liked the resource Good Karma Apps, which is a site to find apps for special ed.
Stef talked about how technology helps us connect with the world and the advantage we can make out of it.
Cynthia said that she would like the nursery team to explore apps together. I told them that if they find great apps that cost money, we can buy them and have them in all the ipads
Teachers mentioned that very often the internet is slow and it makes it hard to use the computer or the ipad
We had a conversation about moving from LCD screens to projectors. The 3 teachers that have a projector said they like it much better.
Tina shared her observations on the example of the field trip using ipads (an elementary group visiting an apple orchard).
Tina said that the app Art Circles is a very good one. It’s free.
