it at a young age. However it is hard for teachers stay caught up with all the new
technology.

Detail findings.The teacher uses the internet on the iPad when she provides some
learning games to her students during the circle time.

2. 9. How does a teacher get further training to use technology?
The teacher has attended technology meetings in order to understand how to use all the
technology and software programs that she uses in the classroom.
10. Did you observe students using computer based technology? Yes If so detail what
you observed:Children enjoyed the technology class because it made learning words,
numbers, songs, and the alphabet through playing games lots of fun. When each student
used an iPhone, they were excited to choose their own learning activity and enjoyed
working on it on their own.
11. Other: Today, mostpeople have computer access in their homes and children are familiar
with technology. It is important for them to start to use technology at a young age in
order for them to live in the society. Through this observation, I also believe that
technology is a good start for children to enjoy learning. This is because there are many
learning activities available and they are able to learn through play.
