This is an article that discusses what types of computer activities are best for students at the kindergarten level. I found it especially interesting becuase this is a grade I want to teach. It discusses what students should be learning and how. For instance, "your kindergartner may use word-processing, draw and paint software, and presentation software (such as PowerPoint) to complete activities in a range of subject areas, including language arts, science, social studies, mathematics and art. These activities, which integrate computers into the classroom, are the first steps to technological literacy: the use of tools to solve problems. The teacher should offer guidance and monitor the amount of time students spend at the computer."
I liked this article because it is written for parents and advises them as to what types of activities are beneficial for students. Therefore, it gives teachers and future teachers some insight as to what parents are reading and will be expecting from you. To view go here.

I want to teach kindergarten too. I think the article is very informative and helps the parents guide their children to what technologies will be helpful for to use and how to use them. I think kindergarten is a great place to start to integrate technology in the classroom and expose the children to it.
