Young children have much to gain from use of technology. In their formative years, they expand their ability to acquire information, solve problems, and communicate with others. Regular access and exposure to computers and related technology can enhance this learning. Students at Lake Dow Learning Academy use engaging, age-appropriate, and challenging software, and technology to extend their knowledge and to enrich their learning to curriculum content and concepts. These technologies serve as important learning tools and are integrated throughout the instructional program.
Our students learn the basic functions of the computer and related technologies. They develop techniques for handling and controlling various input devices and become increasingly confident and independent users of age-appropriate software programs.
Many parents consider computers to be nothing more than a toy - a waste of time that children use only to play games and pass the time. The reality is that more and more of the world is becoming based on computer technologies. Whether you're talking about education, manufacturing or business and finance - every industry is becoming more and more dependent upon computers.
Our children learn through both guided instruction (teacher-driven) and practice and exploration (child-driven) integrated with the daily activities. Offices and organizations today are more interconnected and more productive because of the automation and tools that computers provide. This means that the children of today will be living in a world that is virtually overrun by computer systems within every facet of daily living.
At Lake Dow Learning Academy, our position is that digital literacy is an important component to an integrated curriculum that prepares students of all ages for 21st century learning. It should be used to support learning and expand young children’s access to new content. Lake Dow Learning Academy can help your child understand computer literacy and soar in their efforts to understand the computer inside and out.
