What I feel has happened however, is that technologies have been brought into ece without teachers having too much of an idea about how it fits with best practice, how it fits with their philosophy of teaching and learning, nor what the technologies are actually capable of contributing. I do believe there are too many 'mindless' games on technologies, which children are left to 'workout' on their own, teachers are not sure what games are or how they work, and therefor there is a lot of mindless use of technologies established in ece as a result.<br /><br />Thanks again - I must find some time to write an updated post.Beverly Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429304628360932037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238763463826457310.post-36099468907936723472015-03-10T09:59:33.515-07:002015-03-10T09:59:33.515-07:00Kia Ora

I'm very much of the philosophy that children will press buttons until something happens, and that this can lead to very unstructured discoveries. Would love to hear your experiences.<br />Andy<br /><br /><a href="http://primary-ed.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">My ECE blog!</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209258339305919597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238763463826457310.post-71359903197140132882013-12-10T13:24:51.425-08:002013-12-10T13:24:51.425-08:00Really great post.
