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.
