Reflecting on Your Learning

Now that you have learned more about supporting the use of technology by early learners, answer the following questions.

1. What part of the class and its activities was most helpful in your understanding of the topic? Why?
2. What part of the class could be better? What would you do to improve it? Why?
3. What was the most important thing you learned from this class? What makes it important to you? Answer this question in the Early Learning Open Space group discussions. Find the What Did You Learn in the Using Technology with Early Learners Class? question. Reply to the question and respond to other participants' answers. 

Extend the Learning

Now that you have completed the training, make sure the learning doesn't stop. Implement the educational, family, or community plans you learned about. Then consider these questions:

1. What worked/didn't work? How will you replicate the success or correct the problem the next time you are working to support young children using technology?
2. Which materials you learned about in the training will you use again?
3. What did you discover about your teaching, family technology use, or awareness of your community's needs from practicing the strategies in this class?
4. What are two pieces of advice you would give to someone who wants to support early learners in their use of technology?
