"Effortless Technology for Elementary Students"
Technology instruction at the elementary level should be easy- for the students. As facilitators and teachers, it is our job- often difficult- to convey ideas and share technology concepts in such a way that students take ownership of the technology that drives their lives from a very early age. My job? Provide a safe environment, good tools, broad concepts, some explanation, a bit of content. Their job? Explore, create, imagine.... and gain knowledge of how specific programs function along the way.
Questions

How do we integrate technology at the elementary level in a way that reflects the normalcy of the digital age our students already navigate?
Is there benefit to typing instruction at early ages? Is it ever detrimental?
