Kindergarten is not what it used to be or what most people in the world outside of education think it isanymore. Our children have short attention spans as it is and they are getting shorter by the minute.
We have to adjust our instruction to keep our childreninterested and actively involved or the information weare giving them will go in one ear and out the other.
You may be shocked to know that many children at the age of 5 or 6 either have their own laptop/ desktop or have access to one at home on a daily basis.
We need to provide safe sites and a basic understand-ing of how to utilize this valuable tool.
