Blog #6: Generation I.M.

October 4, 2011
Prior to reading this article, I knew that children today enjoy using technology. So the fact that children ages 8 to 18 use 6.5 hours outside of school using media per day did not come as too much of a shock to me. However, I was very surprised to learn that over half of preschoolers use a computer. I want to teach kindergarten and figured I could get away with using little technology in the classroom. That appears to not be possible now. I would use technology in a science classroom by having students, after every chapter completed, do a review involving media. They could make a blog post, create a podcast, or a video.
