<p>As much as I would like to keep my preschoolers outdoors, children start using technology early. Kids are playing with their parents phones and tablets way before they come into a preschool so you might as well integrate technology in the classroom. It is a powerful tool after all. I think you will soon find that technology will become a must in classrooms, so you're on the right track.</p>

<p>I am a student teacher and I think there are positives and negatives with teaching young ones about technology. One positive is to allow children to experience technology at a young age to be prepared for newer technology that is going to be coming up in the future. The downfall is the fact that some kids, due to technology may be losing their innocence at such a young age with different websites and such.</p>
