I've been back to school for almost three weeks now and my students and I are finally starting to settle in. We're in our new routine and everything is running smoothly (cross your fingers that it will continue to run smoothly). By the end of the second week, I saw most of my students from last year. One of my former students came to visit with my new students. I had her explaining different things to my new class. Out of nowhere, she starts telling my class that they are so lucky to be in my class because I'm the only kindergarten teacher to have THREE computers and a huge TV. I thought this was hysterical because I thought I was the only one to be thrilled to have three computers. It was a touchy subject around the other kindergarten teachers because I was the new teacher and I was given the extra computer. When I first got the third computer, I didn't ask any questions. I didn't want anyone to take it away. After having the computer for awhile I finally asked the technology coordinator why. She simply said it was because I was the only one integrating technology into my classroom correctly.

After hearing my former student say things about my computers, I think it's safe to say the even the kindergartens are aware of how important technology is.

Congratulations on successfully integrating computers with your kindergarten lessons! Contrary to the Digital Native theorists, kids today are not born with a digital gene, and they can be quite slow at "getting it." So you have your work cut out for you, I'm sure. Good job!
