Technology is a bridge that helps many students learn in a way that generations before did not have. Our society has dramatically changed in the past decade and the expectations for students are also changing. I think one of the most important parts of teaching Technology in Elementary School is when we get to introduce students to new and exciting career opportunities!

Additionally, students are given assignments that require technology, but may spend hours upon hours trying to figure out the program before they can even start the actual assignment.  
Teaching students keyboarding, coding, word processing and visual presentation programs effectively and efficiently in elementary school helps prepare them with the skills they need for middle and high school, college and future careers.]]> 2018-05-01 02:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jill_lane/me3f900r3a4x/wish/256744116 Elementary Instructional Technology is important because... https://padlet.com/jill_lane/me3f900r3a4x/wish/256747463 technology is our future!
