This article discusses how technology is a big part of the school day and Kindergarten is no exception.  Although, students still have the opportunity for developmental play and hands on learning, technology has its own benefits as well.  The article mentioned how technology increases motivation, reinforces skills, differentiates instruction, provides electronic portfolios, and encourages collaboration.  I believe that this is all true, as I witness this everyday in my classroom.  I think that students can use technology and learn just as much as they would with paper and pencil.  I find that using the iPads in my reading and math rotations, the students are reinforcing the skills that we have previously learned at their own level.  The students are also having fun and enjoying their learning time.
