Digitized Preschools Pre-K Technology Use Gains Ground
S
By Michele Jonczak mart Boards, computers, iPads, flip cameras and robots. Sounds like you’ve just entered an electronics store, but this actually describes many preschool classrooms
in the Triangle as they begin to embrace technology. Adults use technology daily — from smartphones to laptops — to access information at a moment’s notice. Now many preschools are using those same resources to teach their young students the ins and outs of technology.
Pre-tweeting On a normal day at International Preschool of Raleigh, you’ll see Smart Boards, computers and iPads in the classrooms. Pre-K students tweet family members via individual iPads and Skype with authors and students around the world. “Technology opens up the world for them,” says Head of School Anne AherneDaly. “Information is at their fingertips and readily accessible — and opens them up to everything. It has a huge creative power.” Children in one of the school’s classes created paper masks, took photos of the masks and tweeted the photos to friends and family, who in turn provided feedback. This safely exposed children to connecting with others, and they enjoyed receiving immediate feedback. Aherne-Daly says this type of project encourages reading, spelling
and communication, and also creates an electronic portfolio for the students. Smart Boards were installed in the classrooms six years ago when the school opened. These interactive whiteboards allow for visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning. “The students are connected with their learning and it touches all three senses,” Aherne-Daly says. “The more you engage the students, the more they learn.” Kelly Monce of Raleigh, whose children all attended International Preschool of Raleigh, says introducing technology l ike Smart Boards in preschool prepares students for what they will see and use in elementary school. “They are going to continue to see technology, so the earlier they are exposed to this medium of learning, the better, and the more prepared they will be for the future,” she says.
Technology allows teachers to teach in different ways to reach all students. Monce says her children — 9-year-old Benjamin, 5-year-old Jacob and 4-yearold Eleanor — thrived in this setting.
Flip Cameras and Robots The Discovery Child Development Center in Morrisville operates on a project-based learning approach, but Director Alex Livas-Dlott incorporates technology into the classroom when it can enhance projects and knowledge for children. For example, when students were tasked with creating books, they watched an iPad video about how paper is made. The students then made individual books and worked as a group to create one digital book, which incorporated technology and cooperation. When students go on field trips, they might use digital and flip video cameras to document their experiences, then watch the video on their classroom computer. Students also participate in electronic learning programs and educational games offered by Lakeshore, an educational resource company. Sujata Rajaram, a pre-K teacher at Discovery Child Development Center, says technology complements her classroom curriculum, but doesn’t replace it. “Sometimes the visual is great for children,” she says. “They can come up with ideas and it helps with their projects. They love playing games, rhyming, doing letter sounds and numbers on the computer. It helps them to learn the facts, but it is not the main focus. Technology complements the learning.”

Rajaram uses Bee-Bot, a programmable floor robot, to challenge her pre-K students in the spring once they have matured enough to handle the tougher curriculum. She selects Bee-Bot programs that introduce students to new math skills that involve estimation and critical thinking, for example.

a shrinking world where tolerance and understanding of other cultures can be the difference between success and stagnation. That’s where globalized classrooms come in. Generally, globalization refers to the growing interdependence and interconnection of the world’s communities. Global teachers use technology and international connections to bring the outside world into their classroom.

high school class might regularly interact with a German high school class via Skype to discuss current or historical events from different viewpoints. The goal of the global classroom is to widen students’ perspectives as they work their way through class materials, helping them understand information as it relates to a larger community. “Teachers look to the standards to decide how to incorporate aspects of different cultures into their classes,” says Amy Rickard, principal at Morris Grove Elementary in Chapel Hill, which offers globalized classrooms and has international teachers on staff. One of those teachers, Amanda Woodroffe of England, has been teaching in the U.S. for several years. “What’s really interesting is not only introducing the kids to different cultures, but also helping them understand they also have a culture,” she says. “By learning about other people, they’re also getting a better understanding of their own heritage and traditions, and why they do what they do here in America.” Globalization helps increase students’ sensitivity to differences in values and cultures and offers an opportunity to think about their position in and view of the world. That can translate into expanded options as they head out into the brave, global world. “One of the things we’ve seen as part of the program is the growing confidence the kids have about other cultures,” says Morris Grove Elementary teacher Alison Livingston. “They can travel and interact with members of the international community in a positive and respectful way. That’s something they’ll always be able to use in today’s world.” Kathleen M. Reilly is a freelance writer and mom in the Triangle.

School Communication Tips Points of Contact Along Your Child’s Academic Journey By Beth Shugg
I
t’s natural for parents to have questions about their children’s academic experiences and accomplishments as they journey through school. Here are points of contact for
finding answers to questions you may have.
Whom should I talk to about academic concerns regarding my child? Always start with your child’s teacher and/ or any specialists working with your child. This may include teachers who specialize in academically gifted, special education, speech, occupational therapy and other areas. If they aren’t able to answer your questions, they can direct you to someone who can.
Who can answer questions I have about standardized tests my child is required to take? Curriculum and instruction managers, as well as your child’s teacher, should be able to answer these questions. Special education and academically gifted teachers typically analyze standardized test results to determine which children qualify for exceptional or differentiated services, so they may also be able to answer your questions.
Start with the teacher, if you’re comfortthe issue. If it’s a sensitive topic, consider
Whom do I contact to register my child for kindergarten, or any other grade, if we are new to the area?

address handles all enrollment issues, such as kindergarten or new student registration, current students who may be moving out of the school assignment area but want to stay at their current school, and students who are transferring in from another school.
Who can help me understand how to request a transfer for my student to attend another school? The student information data manager can walk you through this process and answer any questions you might have. If he or she can’t answer your questions, the school district’s student assignment office is a good resource to consult.
can answer questions you may have about your particular circumstances.
How do I handle a bullying situation my child is experiencing at school? Start with the guidance department. Some schools also offer a bullying “hotline” through which students can anonymously report a bullying situation.
Whom should I consult to get a head start on my child’s college or other post-secondary school planning? High school guidance counselors are equipped to walk you through this, although many have hefty caseloads (especially at larger public high schools). Consult with guidance counselors beginning in middle school to find out what high school academic pathways will be open to your child based on the classes he or she currently takes or has taken. This will help you plan ahead.
How do I get copies of my child’s high school transcripts? High schools often include “student information” menu tabs on their websites that link to directions for obtaining your child’s transcripts. Registrars and guidance counselors can also tell you how to get copies.
If my child rides the bus, whom do I contact for questions about my child’s bus transportation? Most schools can transfer you directly to the transportation office (via phone) that
