Spiders, Bears, and Habitats

From viewing these videos I learned that children are excited and eager to use technology in the classroom. Teachers can implement several different standards into one lesson as well. For example, the students taking pictures of spiders and making their own construction spiders; the opportunities are endless. These videos also helped me to realize how start and quick young children are at catching on to any new technology that they are exposed to. And as teachers we need to help give them that exposure and let them try out their skills instead of doing everything for them.
I really liked that one of the videos had the children working in small groups. That way they were able to help each other out and learn from one another. This is also helpful if some students have experience with technology from exposure at home or else where, those students can work together with the students that may only have the exposure to technology that they are receiving in the classroom.
