 * Implementing Technology into Early Years Classrooms **



Hello and welcome to the Implementing Technology into Early Years Classrooms Wiki page. This wiki has been created to enable the collaboration of teachers utilising new technologies within Prep, Year 1 and 2 classes. When teaching children of these ages you have to be very careful about the types of mediums you expose them to and the technology you use with them has to be at an appropriate level. For instance, if a technology is too advanced, it is possible that this might get in the way of their learning rather than benefit it. Because it can often be difficult to decide which types of technologies will be appropriate to use with these children, we have created this wiki page so that teachers can join and share their own innovative ideas of how technology can aid this age group. Our hope is that together we can create a better and more affective teaching environment for all children, using all the tools we have at our disposal in this modern world.

To kick start things off I have created a sample lesson plan on the following page that is taught in Year 2 classrooms and put a technological twist on it, with the use of the promethean board and also classroom handy cams (all of which are found commonly in classrooms today).
