In a world filled with technology it begins to feel like a disadvantage to be so disconnected in the classroom, especially to a group of 5-year-olds in Kindergarten that have lived their entire lives enveloped in technology's bright and colorful ways. My students will benefit from having tablets in the classroom so that they can each utilize different programs on their own that would be more adapted to their individual learning. In the classroom a large part of our day is spent in small groups working on various grade level skills, it would be beneficial to have the tablets so that students could spend more of their center time engaging in specific programs that adhere to their level of learning. Students are so unique and need various methods of teaching to learn, and by not having much technology for them to use it is doing their learning process a disservice.
Sharing the limited resources we have does not allow students to explore the various programs we use, and that loss of exploration is devastating to their overall educational development. With programs like Starfall, ABCMouse, and Lexia students can learn so much with the help of technology, but only having two working desktop computers does not allow each child to be fully encapsulated in the programs at hand. Kindergarten is a huge transition for so many students so providing some stability while still increasing learning is a goal that needs to be adhered to and could happen with the help of some more technology, which is virtually nonexistent at the moment.
