When using technology in preschool, most of the time, it would be monitored and they won't be using it for  along time. I made this quick little flyer so that they can understand that  computers are our friends and to treat them nicely

I completely agree! It is important to take students out of the traditional classroom setting and be able to show the students as well that is possible to learn in different environments

Learning can definitely take place anywhere! The classroom is the most common place to learn, but not the only place to learn. Learning does not stop after the bell rings. I work with my babies in the car on spelling words and math problems. I call out a word for them to spell and/or a math problem to solve.

As a future educator, I will always have to be on my feet. I have to make sure the curriculum caters to what my district needs and also ensure that it's made in a way that student can easily grasp it. If I go into teaching with the mindset that the only time to a student can learn is in the classroom, I am setting myself up to failure. Not one student is the same, we all have different learning styles. Incorporating new ways to teach will enhance the student's ability to learn. The world is so big; it is our playground.

This article is important because in today's classroom and schools, their objective is ever changing. They are incorporating more technology and going on more trips to expand the way of teaching. As the world is evolving, so does our way of teaching.

This article is about how learning can be done anywhere; it does not have to be set in the traditional classroom. Beth Knittle talks about how learning can be done at the park, game center, their home. Creativity goes a long way when it comes to teaching. Traditional classroom restricts how create a student can be because they have limit access to supplies and resources.

For those of you who have been regular readers you know I struggle with traditional schooling and how it confines and limits learning. I have raised two children who were interested in computers, gaming, digital art, ancient languages, ancient arts and mythologies, topics not part of most school curriculum.A good deal of their learning took place outside of traditional schooling, some times instead of it.I know schools can't be all things to all people, nor should they.But sometimes the ridged adherence to an ever increasing set of standards that everyone must master leaves little room for the creative arts, deeper development of knowledge in a particular field or exploration of areas out side the 4 cores. There is only so much time in the school day, money in a budget, rooms and teachers to meet the standards and core graduation requirements. Though with the advent of the digital literacy and computer science standards in Massachusetts and new ISTE standards for students there is hope that in the future more computer science will be entering the curriculum in every school.

One of the ways I had been able to supplement my children's education was through Lynda where they could learn the skills they needed, buy lots of books, visit museums, take classes, attend conferences and workshops that fuel their interests.My dining room table was often the site of many game nights, what I would not have given for a local game cafe.Learning is a constant process that is not set to a particular time or place, learning is irregular. There is a great big world out there with lots to learn. There must be a better way to connect the learning that takes place in school, with the learning that takes place outside of school and a way to recognize the learning outside of school as valuable and important. My children were often discouraged by teachers for pursing outside interest as it took away from homework and study time. If they did this they would not have acquired the skills need to apply for the college programs they were interested in and and pursue their dreams.Schools that do not offer computer sciences, programing, digital arts and media are doing a disservice to their students as they do not prepare them for college and careers in these fields, these are some of the fastest growing job markets in the US. How can schools that are limited in space, time and money support students who wish to pursue these fields? How can student bring their interests into schools to bridge what must be taught with what students want to learn?
