Kids N Technology is an afterschool program that helps teach underprivledge children about technology and how it works. The website said that it has programs that allow students to build their own computer and then take them home. There are programs and assistance for all ages and would be an awesome afterschool activity to offer to my students. I really enjoyed what this website has to offer and is a great resource for all ages.

Kindergarten Tech Lessons

Kindergarten Tech lessons is one of my favorite sites that I found. It teaches young children how to use the internet,kid pixs, and other educational games. It also gives teachers a lesson plan that helps students understand the rules about using computers before they can play games. The site breaks down each lessons so teachers know exactly what to teach. I would use this at the beginning of the year in my classroom because I think it would be a great teaching tool for safety!

Teachers don't always give kindergarteners enough credit when dealing with technology. I liked that this website taught children the basic skills of technology in the classroom setting. It also gives young children the ability to learn programs with basic instructions and lessons they can follow themselves. I would totally use this program in my class because I think it will help my students develop a understanding about the program. My students will be able to use the skills they learned for the rest of their life :)

We talked about the importance of Special needs technology tools and programs in the classroom. Just because I teach regular education doesn't mean I won't have special students in my class. I really like this site because it gives examples of specific technology that helps students with Autism, ADHD, and dyslecia. My favorite program listed was rock n go math (http://rockngolive.com/) which helps make learning fun for students.
