teachers feel about the advances in technology in the classroom and how the feel it affects the
children. I want to know if technology has changed the way children learn while in a classroom
environment. When did these advances start to happen? I also want to know how teachers feel if

different myths ranging from internet belongs in the classroom to the internet is making us
dumber. In the myth, “The Internet belongs in the classroom because it is part of the personal
world experienced by children,” they talk about how most students prefer having a teacher at the
front of the room rather than learning through a program. They also talk about newer
generations, they call these generations digital natives because they have grown up with
technology. The digital natives use different forms of technology to communicate, learn, and
socialize. In the myth, “young people don’t read anymore,” they explain how young people are
reading, just not in the most conventional ways. They read on social media and text messages.
The writers wrote this to inform teachers and other professionals about the common
myths that revolve around technology. It helps inform them on technology that can help students
and on things that children won’t adapt well to. This article is pretty recent and the information is
on track with the way society and education is right now. All of the myths are myths that are still

about the benefits that teachers will see when they implement technology into the classroom. She
talks about incorporating technology alongside traditional activities won’t have a negative effect
on the children, it’ll help. She talks about technology helping to build a community in the
classroom. She says, “technology in early childhood classrooms should support collaborative
learning environments and, therefore, enrich student’s interactions with their peers.” Technology
should be used as a helping tool rather than a different form of the teacher providing the
information. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) believe that children
This article was written to inform people about the technological advances and the
benefits it has in early childhood classrooms. The audience for this article is mostly directed
towards other teachers, especially early childhood teachers. The article was published at the
beginning of 2019, it is very new and still has relevant information. The information she
provided isn’t outdated, and everything she references still applies to education.
The writer of the article, Kaitlin Bradley has taught in the classroom. She has taught
preschool to second grade, she has been teaching for five years. She has been able to see these
advances in technology and how they affect the children first hand. She pulls information from
different organizations and associations that have done research on technology in the classroom.
This article provides a lot of information from a teacher’s perspective and from a teacher
who deals with younger children. I can use information from ISTE and NAEYC, I can use
information from her section on building a community. I can use the math and literacy skills

“How Has Technology Changed Education?” from Purdue University talks about the
specific ways technology is changing education. It points out a 14th century illustration by
Laurentius de Voltolina. In the illustration it looks like a typical classroom today, a teacher at the
front, students sitting in rows, looking at books. There are slight differences, like students today
are more likely to be looking at a laptop or smartphone rather than a textbook. The article goes
into how technology has changed education, but not drastically. Technology has made it easy for
teachers to create instructional material, it has broken down the walls of the classroom and
allows students to collaborate outside of the classroom. It also talks about the teacher's role
The purpose of this article is to show some of the differences in the classroom since
technology has been introduced in education. It shows the switch that teachers are going through,
they were the main source of information but now they are more of a guide while students are
doing their own work through the internet. This article can give anyone some insight to the way
This article comes from the online section of Purdue University. The article provides
good information from an institutes point of view on how technology is being implemented and
the effects from technology. It provides a different perspective, it’s similar to a teachers point of
view and can help others understand the positive effects technology can have.
This article has provided me with information that shows the progression of technology,
like in medieval times when books were rare and not a lot of people had information so close.
Now we have any information we want at our fingertips. Students can collaborate with people

Anastasia Moloney, talks about creating a healthy relationship with technology in the
article “Technology Impact on Child Growth & Development.” She talks about technology being
good when used properly and in moderation. She talks about ways to provide a healthy mix of
technology and normal activities. She suggests having kids read for a little bit during the day
without any screen time so they still get other forms of material.
The purpose of this article is to inform parents that technology can be good for childhood
growth, but there should still be interactions that don’t involve technology. This article is
directed towards parents of young children. This article is for parents to understand the impact

“‘T’ Is for Technology: Early Childhood Education and the Digital Divide FAQ.” RAND
Corporation, https://www.rand.org/education-and-labor/projects/t-is-for-
technology/faq.html.
“T Is for Technology,’ by RAND Corporation explains how it may be hard for low
income families to provide technology for children. It’s called a “Digital Divide” when there is a
touches on what educators can do to help reduce the digital divides. Teachers can be well
educated with technology and help children from low income families become familiar with it as
young as ECE. It also talks about how the government is helping to provide technology for low
income families.
The purpose of this article is to inform people on the digital divide and how to help the
children who need access to technology. This is still relevant today, there are still children who
have very little access to technology and need some extra help from different areas. There will
always be ways that children need help with certain technological devices.
RAND Education and Labor wrote the article about digital divides. They work closely
with government agencies and foundations to provide the information in their articles. They are
educators of different sections and provide information based on technology and its impacts.
This article can be used to explain that not everyone has access to technology at home
and having technology in the classroom can be difficult for those children to adapt. I can explain
how teachers and educators can help children get comfortable with technology and how other
family members can step in and provide more information for the child. I can talk about some of
the ways the government is helping implement technology in the classroom and for children in

advances of technology in a timeline format. It shows when the classroom starts to have more
technological advances and just how fast it has advanced. It talks about how the radio starts a
new wave of learning by allowing students to participate in classes through the radio. It talks
about when social media sites like Myspace, Facebook and Twitter were introduced and how
they started being used in the classroom as a form of discussion. It really breaks down of
what it is. Technology has helped shape the classroom into what we know now. It shows that
technology has helped increase enrollment rates and they are continuing to grow.
Purdue University wrote “The Evolution of Technology In The Classroom.” Anyone can
read this article and take away information will affect them in different ways. This article really
helps me see how fast technology advanced and how common most of these products are now.
Some of the technology isn;t used the same way it started but you can see how far it went and
I want to use the timeline to explain why technology is used and how it helps extend
learning to a new level. I want to show that technology has made it easier for people to learn and
