  • The first stage of Technology  is  the Entry Stage

This Stage is the first Stage of integration when the teachers have to gain basic skills on computers before the teacher can incorporate the technology in the classroom.

  • Adoption is the second Stage

this is the Stage where teachers are using some Technology in the classroom ,but  not every day.

  • Adaptation is the third Stage

 this Stage is when teachers are using Technology in the classroom regularly.
  • Appropriation is the fourth Stage
 This Stage is when teachers are using Technology inside the classroom and outside the classroom the teachers are using it as a tool to learn.
  • Invention is the fifth stage 
This Stage is when the teachers are creating new ways for integrating Technology inside and outside  the classroom using it as a tool to learn,also adding it to their personal skills.


Wow!!
I will be using and Integrating Technology  in the classroom. I personally love my job right now because it lets me learn a little more of what I, need to do with the children later when I become a teacher. I am learning a lot in the classroom I am right now because the teacher integrates  Technology in  the classroom with the children. the children use I-pads in the classroom to learn their letters  and at the same time, they are playing.  In the classroom  also, the children are able to practice their letter  and sing the A,B,Cs song.I personally do not know a lot about Technology all this is very new for me.

 Although  I believe Technology is very important because I live  thru my cellphone every day I use my cell phone for everything and sometimes  upsets me  because the battery dies on me. I am in contact with my family and friends and when it dies I feel that I am missing  lots of  important stuff.  I had an emergency and I had to go out of state. The  internet on my cell phone it is very slow and besides that I lose the charger for my cell phone. I felt lost and couldn't do nothing until I call  my husband using  the  telephone from the hospital. I needed to charge my cell phone and see everything that I had missed while been without my cell phone.

I use Technology very often because I need to do my homework and check my spelling on it too. But like I said  I need to learn a lot more because it is frustrating not knowing what to do when you need to create  a page that you have never heard about.In my opinion, the first Stage  of Technology its the most difficult Stage because  even if we know that it is safe it depends on the websites and tools that we use. I believe that it will be very difficult for people that do not use Technology  and are not open-minded because it will be very difficult to  update them selfs with the world nowadays. Teachers need to integrate the Technology in the classroom or otherwise they will be missing a lot of  opportunities and they might be replaced by teachers  more knowledgeable in Technology. 


"Teachers need to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum instead of viewing it as an add-on, an afterthought, or an event." ~ Heidi-Hayes Jacobs #education #teaching #quote #edtech:

Active Learning



http://primrosehillnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/IMG_12961.jpg


Active learning can be spontaneous play planned, purposeful play events and life experiences. Active learning  is experiential, mindful engaged in  active learning activities because it challenges their thinking and  their imagination in real life.In the classroom, The children are Active and learning at the same time in the classroom exploring everything around them and learning from every center they choose to play with.




Two weeks ago we talk about  play Doh, how can we make it in the classroom  and add the color we like. The children were excited about it.  The next day of school we bring the materials to do the play Doh with the children. Ms. Carly and I provide the children with a cup of water, a cup of flour, less than half of cup of baby oil, and two spoons of salt. We explained to the  children that they needed to mix all the materials and they did it at the same time Ms. Carly and I were asking questions about the texture of the mixed material. some of the children said that as they were mixing the materials it was hard and as they continue mixing it started to get soft. They looked so interested as soon as we seen that the play Doh was ready  Ms.Carly offered color red, pink,yellow, blue and orange and each of them picked   their  own color.

 After the children  were done making the play Doh they clean their spots and wash their hands  the children could not wait to play with the play Doh  they were able to make letters.numbers,figures of dolls and even fruits and food.We had and amazing day learning how to make play Doh, stimulating their  fine motor and at the same time learning letters and names. I am still learning with the children and we are active learning every day. I love seen the way they explore in the classroom and the way they ask questions to me or Ms.Carly.  I always  extend their questions and make them think a little more of whatever they ask. The benefits of active learning  are that they learn from everything around them is the direct and immediate experiencing people, objects, ideas , and events.

Some things about me

Hello everyone,

My name is Elizabeth Leon. I love working with young children and that's one of the reasons I want to become a teacher. I am currently working at CPS with Pre-K children as an Assistant teacher. I  enjoy been around children and see how they start exploring the world around them. I really love to see how children   can absorb  any little thing that they see and they hear.  I believe that receiving a childhood Earlier Education should be for every child in this world. Early Child Education is a process in with children gain all the knowledge,custom and values thought to them Early Child Hood Center. I like  to give clear and firm  guidance to the children. Early child Education is where every child learns  how to be social with other children and learn all cultures.

I believe that all children are valuable,and each of them is unique and as a  professional teacher, I need to treat all children the same. all children learn through is discovering new things every day it is the responsibility of the teachers  to introduce the children to new things every day. I believe that me as a teacher it is my responsibility to make sure that the curriculum that is being taught is a curriculum full of new opportunities for the children to learn  and it is developmentally appropriate.  as I said before children are like sponges that absorb everything that is around them because they see, hear, and more importantly they practice every day in the classroom. I believe that children should not be given time out or punished in any circumstance instead , we as teachers should let the child know how the other person is feeling.

I believe that nurture and attachment are the most important things in a child growth and development I love working with children ages 3 years old and five years old but I understand the importance of learning from birth. I will love to teach  the children the value of exploring and learning through the day where they can find all kinds of materials to pretend to be an adult and discover the beautiful things around them. I also believe that I need to be a role model for the children do activities where all areas of development  can be developed. as a teacher, I will encourage, guide and invite the children to participate in all kinds of activities.

 I believe that teachers should show the children all the beauty that is thereby modeling and practicing every day. As a teacher, I will be patience and encourage consistency to my every day. I would like to teach any place where there are children because these is what I love to do  and I won't give up I will try to show my children the best I can, and I will give the children all good and rich experiences while they are with me.
