This was a great place to find tips to use when selecting and evaluating software for your early childhool classroom. The article stresseds the importance of finding software that is developmentally and age appropriate, and not just used as an electronic worksheet. When the software is used apporpriately, it can improve a child's thinking ability and develop good relations with peers. It is very important that the software doesn't replace program routines.
The tip that I found to be the best was the one that stated that technology should not teach children to use violence to solve their problems. I am surprised how many little children play video games that use violence. I have children coming to school everyday and acting out what they see on their video games and computer games.
