“Technology won’t replace teachers. But, those teachers that use technology in their classrooms will replace those teachers that don’t.”

Day one – MiAEYC ConferenceI am thrilled to be here, and I’m feeling very relaxed now that my presentation is over. Today I presented my early childhood technology presentation. I think it went well. Ultimately, besides sharing what I’ve learned, my goal is to find early childhood teachers to network with. I know that there are some preschool, kindergarten and lower elementary teachers out there doing lots of technology, but I’m hoping to create a place to congregate together. I would love to have a successful forum to share ideas, lessons, successes, failures and solutions. I hope that forum might be my ning - or someone elses – I’d love to know if someone else has a successful group of early childhood teachers who are interested in sharing tech talk for our classrooms.
I think about the quote above. We are seeing lots of technology in classrooms, but it’s still not everywhere. Many of the early childhood classes have very little technology – do administators not think they’re worth it? I don’t know the answer to this. Meanwhile, as early childhood teachers, it’s necessary that we bring the 21st century tech skills into our classrooms and expose our children to them. If we don’t, eventually, other teachers will and it will probably be those tech savy ones.
