Char Soucy, first grade teacher at Fernan Elementary School, made these observations about how technology affected relationships and communication in the classroom and with parents:
- Children realize the value of computers to find information
and enhance their learning; they no longer think of them as
just games.
- When students show others how to use the tools of technology
they gain confidence in their abilities.
- Communication skills improve as children articulate to classmates
how to do things at the computer.
- Children need to negotiate as they work together on projects
using technology, encouraging cooperation skills and consideration
for others.
- Children learn to think critically and evaluate the source of
information.
