Pre-K Technology

The learning foundation of pre-K students is the ability to acquire information, solve problems, and communicate. With the above statement, we can conclude that technology will help foster this type of life-long learning. This type of environment will be enhanced with there exposure to technology at an early age. Since technology is so interwoven in our society today, we must incorporate it early so it is mastered for future or upcoming grades.

A spiraling or scaffolding is a curriculum that gives students multiple opportunities to master knowledge and skills. For example, I am a Pre-AP World Geography teacher (9th Grade) and my students were introduced maps and map making in the 6th grade. They had to find different areas of the map, key, title, etc. Now in ninth grade, my students take that skill and apply to our map objectives, which can include interpretting flow line maps, cartograms, or comparing different types of maps. They must also take other skills and start making certain asumptions or conclusions by looking at different kinds of maps.
