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:
- 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?
- Which materials you learned about in the training will you use again?
- What did you discover about your teaching, family technology use, or awareness of your community's needs from practicing the strategies in this class?
