Hi Rosie ,
Although you mentioned that the children in your centre have simple but effective access to technology , I feel that that they are doing very well with having internet access and utube.What a bonus! I showed two boys what dinosaur skin looks like by googling it , and this them to replicate the idea on paper .Of course we use other forms of technology like the photo copier and laminator, printer.
The camera is a great piece of technology and easily manipulated. Even little ones know the simple mechanics of looking through the window and clicking the button , although sometimes the little finger gets in the way! Whats even better is that we can show them how to download the photos onto the computer and print them all in a matter of minutes, enabling them to capture some special moments in the sandpit or whereever.http://unknown-luanasspot.blogspot.com/
Hello Ann
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. Yes I do agree all be it small it is huge in the eyes of the children and teachers. The internet is a wonderful tool if used correctly and can be very educational too. The resources are numerous with loads of fund activities for children to follow and learn from too.
The use of the camera can be tricky but exciting to little eyes. It is going to exciting to see the look on their faces once they get to see the end result. Will keep you updated and post some pics (without children's faces, due to ehics).
Here's to happy snapping.....http://annlm - annlm.blogspot.com/
