https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir Will adding technology in my Elementary classrooms lead to non-productive struggle and frustration in my students? Will using technology help better prepare my students for this modern world they are growing up in? en-us 2020-04-01 00:43:25 UTC 2020-04-05 21:46:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f471-2640.png tberry51 https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/487518104 I personally wouldn't think it would cause frustration because I believe in this day and age everything is so technology based. I think the earlier you can introduce technology to kids the better of they will be because most of the best teaching formats are web based. Which means if they are introduced early on their skills will just continue to advance. Also a lot of educational games are available on tablets and other educational devices.]]> 2020-04-01 19:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/487518104 kallistarushing https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/487831920 I wouldn't it would be causing frustration because the younger the children are the better the children will be with technology. Everything is technology based now days. If you focus on their skills with technology earlier than they will just advance every year. Everything is being technology based. Their are educational game available on tablets, iPad's, and computers.]]> 2020-04-01 23:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/487831920 abigailniemann https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/487921323 This is a concern that I, myself have as well. I think if used in moderation, technology can be a wonderful source to use in the classroom, however if over used or used for a larger amount of time than what the students brains will allow them to focus for, then that is when it could become an issue. Kids do not have a long attention span, so when they are doing something you have to keep it short and to the point or you will lose their attention, and that is when they would not learn. ]]> 2020-04-02 01:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/487921323 7solwalker7 https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/489497385 Depending on the Technology you use, I think that it could be productive. Also, if you spend time training the students to use the tech they will be more efficient. ]]> 2020-04-02 17:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/489497385 molitor2000 https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/490192629 Knowing that even I become frustrated with technology assures me that students will most likely become frustrated, too. With that being said, I think it is still important to incorporate technology as the world evolves to rely on technology. To combat this frustration, I think it would be important to set aside time to walk students through the tools they will be using. Allow other students to help as well. This keeps that face to face interaction within the world on online learning.]]> 2020-04-03 02:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/490192629 shaylahofmann01 https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/491760436 Landry, 
I understand where you're coming from. I get frustrated all the time with technology, and our students will be no different. I believe that technology, no matter how frustrating, is something that students need to learn. Like you said, they're growing up in it. Overall I would just make sure that you are being careful with what lessons you pick for your students to learn. ]]> 2020-04-03 18:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/491760436 kacywatkins99 https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/492838178 From my observations, technology has benefited elementary classrooms. I have seen them use ipads, smart-boards,etc, and the execution seemed to work well. During the time of quarantine, having the students familiar with technology seems to benefit rather than hinder their education.]]> 2020-04-05 00:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/492838178 laurennagel21 https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/493747475 Landry, 
I completely understand your struggle with technology. I think that adding technology can be beneficial when using it correctly. I think you should give them a set time on how long they're allowed to use it. I think if they are very limited on what they get to use hopefully they will be prepared for their future.]]> 2020-04-05 21:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/landryrlichty3/16ir17jfbnir/wish/493747475
