Technology and LearningIn today's world, technology is everywhere. Children are exposed to technology from birth. It is common to see infants watching television or computer screens and babies playing with their parents' cell phones or tablets. Teachers from preschool through middle school have begun to integrate technology into their daily learning curriculum and are seeing positive results. Schools go so far as to use computerized educational applications for a quarter of the school day to improve student learning. This isn’t the only way technology has made learning easier. There are many programs that teachers use to facilitate children's learning. Computers can help teachers make learning fun. There are many computer programs that teach lessons in the form of games that children enjoy and encourage children to want to learn. There are even computer programs like Rosetta Stone that can teach anyone, child or adult, to speak a whole new language! Technology has truly exploded people's ability to acquire knowledge. Schools are following a rapidly accelerating trend called blended learning and this is where children will spend part of their day engaging with technology (Halpert). Technology isn't just in primary schools: iPads and tablets are even being incorporated into early learning programs. Children as young as two or three play interactive games on tablets and iPads. From a young age, children are exposed to interactive learning and seem to learn better because of it. Teachers have software that can demonstrate in which area the child needs to improve, whether it is vocabulary or critical thinking, and provide the child with learning games or quizzes aimed at improving these areas (Roxby).
