Reviewing
what the students did in the plant unit before we incorporated technology
and when we had, I found that the non-verbal students shone with this new
addition to the unit. They were able to communicate their learnings through
the computer, which was not an option in the previous years. Using the
different computer programs, we were able to access different intelligences,
which is supportive of the multiple intelligence theory. For example, the
digital camera enabled the children see themselves, or their work, at that
moment. It also enabled us to revisit lessons and refresh our ideas that
were learned. The children who were very active in computer use at home
felt very comfortable with the computer lessons we had them complete. Computers
were a wonderful tool for the classroom, however, it will never replace
a good teacher. It will, however, enhance a learning experience.
