Technology for Pre-K

The world is rapidly changing with the advancements of 1000110101's. It seems that everyday we are becoming more and more digital. Imagine the world for a Pre-k student who has always known digital this and digital that. For them it is not a changing world but the only world they know. Digital mediums will be their primary and perhaps only source for entertainment, communication and even learning. With this in mind it is important for pre-k students to be given the tools that are relevant to 21st century learning without limiting them because of our own technological limitations. They should be embedded in digital learning, given the access to digital learning devices and not just crayons and paper. Their learning should be built on a spiraling curriculum that builds and overlaps on prior knowledge. They should learn with digital tools while learning about digital tools. It is time that the crayons become electric.
