Constructivism in the Classroom

Early Childhood Technology
Hello! I'm currently working with our director of early childhood to build a technology program from the ground up. Currently, none of the three early childhood buildings have any technology. We plan on purchasing a few computers, projectors, and SMARTBoards. Aside from those things, is there any type of technology, hardward or software, relevant to early childhood that you cannot live without? Thanks in advance for your collective knowledge!

Are you still with L-C, and have the same email? If not, send your new info to my new email: reed.kandm@gmail.com. I would like to keep in touch. Retirement is fun, but I haven't slowed down at all!

- Liz, I just watched the vidoe Research Without Copying. Excellent Ideas. Would you share the pdf files of the slides with me. I would love to use some of these ideas. I plan to write a grant to get the software. Will you tell me exactly which software you used. Thanks so much!!

Years like you're having are very seductive (and addictive). Enjoy!

Ellen said… - Actually I took a cab the next morning to the White House and walked around a bit before returning to the Convention Center and then trekking out to Union Station, so it wasn't all bad. A reason to return to DC to catch the sights another time. I'll plan a bit more carefully for Denver next year. :D
