The past week while I was at home for break I was able to volunteer in my cousins Kindergarten classroom for a few days. I got to interact and help her students which made it very enjoyable for me but one thing I did notice was that she did not have much technology in her classroom. I know they are only in Kindergarten but I still think the curriculum should include technology early on so they can be prepared in their later years. I was only in her classroom for two days but there was not technology interaction while I was in their the classroom. Although they do have computer lab time but I did not get to see what they were actually doing while they were in the computer lab. I might add that my cousin is in her first year of teaching so she might not have access to technology since it is her first year. I know she had the potential to use it in her classroom but just not access to it because of budget cuts and money problems.
