PLE #10

One thing I've learned from watching these videos about using technology with children is that even young children can use technology. Of course the younger they are, the more help and modeling they need, but they can still do it.
It was also interesting to see the different ways that they used technology with the students. Most of them used computers, but they also used projectors to project what they had done on the computers. It looked like the students in these videos understood fairly well how to use computers. It looks like these videos were made a few years ago, so the students now have an even better knowledge of computers since most of them have been surrounded by them their whole lives.
So I guess the most important things I learned from watching these videos is to not underestimate childrens' abilities to use technology. They know a lot more than we might think they do, but they can also do a lot with our help. And it makes learning fun and engaging.
