Personal Research Journey

At first I didn't know which topic I wanted to research but after careful consideration I found something of my interest. I decided to research technology and learning as it relates to children in the early childhood field. I’m interested in this topic because technology is all around us and that’s what used most in today’s society. Children are using computers at very young age now and having a child who loves technology I wanted to research more about it. For my subtopic I chose the affects it has on children.
After starting my research chart I’m learning how to gather my thoughts and how to find articles for my research. I’m hoping that my colleagues will give me advice on my research process. Please feel free to email me or comment on my blog.

  1. Hello Brittany
    You are right computer and other technology is so much apart of children lives today. My soon to be two year grandchild can find her favorite apps on her mother phone. My older grand children have shown me things about using the computer. Looking forward to reading about your research finding concern the effect the computer has on children Great topic..

  2. Hi Brittany,
    I love the convenience and knowledge that technology can provide for us. On the opposite end I find myself having to struggle with my six year to turn off the tablet and enjoy other activities like outside time and board games; things that I use to enjoy before technology. I was just wondering if you anticipate having a hard time finding information on the effects of technology on children just because it may take a while to get in depth information due to the amount of time its been since technology has kind of "taken over". I would think that you might find a lot of information regarding health issues like obesity and technology.
