Not Having Technology Period at School:

I realized today that I can't stand not having computers at school. I'm currently long term substituting at a Pre-K center, that is supposed to be technology geared for the 2010-2011 school year, and we have no technology in the classroom other than a CD player. We are supposed to be getting two computers this year, but I feel that the students would really benefit from being able to access a computer at school and play educational games. I think starting children at an early age would be successful for when they move into a school system they would already know how to use technology to some degree. This would also help stimulate the students that aren't able to access a computer from home, or use technological toys due to low income. If we had the computers like we are supposed to, it would make for a great learning center. I don't understand the fact that the GA Pre-K Standards say that each classroom must have two computers, and we have none, and no progress seems to be underway to match that standard. It really makes me frustrated as a teacher.
