My name is Jackie and I am from a small township in Ohio. I like to go shopping, running, hanging out with my friends, going to watch movies, listening to all kinds of music. I really enjoy spending time with my family. I am here at Bowling Green to get a major in Early Childhood Education. I am here because I heard how great of a university this was for education. I am happy here now. My thought about technology in the classroom for the early childhood classroom is a must. I believe that in todays society, technology is very highly expected. I don't believe that e-mail and really big things are important for early childhood education. I also think that children will lose physical activity because they will be hooked on the computer. Overall, it is a very good thing to know how to use but children, I think need more hands on attention rather than computer based homework. I think programs on the computer are a good learning tool but I also think we need to learn how manage our time. I also think that children would rather playing games, singing songs, and learning in different ways, than computer based. Frog leaper I think is a great way for children to learn how to read and pronounce words. I feel that frog leaper gives children attention but I feel that person to person is much more important at a young age.
