  **How each age group of students learns Technology different ways!**       ** By: G. Mendoza **  Each student has their each and own individual ways of learning. Students from elementary to middle school they both have different ways to learn it. In the elementary level there is this web site called, 4teachers.org, this website offers many testimony’s from teachers. Abcya.com shows it has each grade level separate lessons so each teacher has their own followers. Some of the lessons offered for the kindergarteners are, “Alphabet in Order”, “Learn Buttons”, “How many fish?”, “Connect the dots “( ranging from 1-10 all the way to 1-50), as well as the holiday themes as well such as “Christmas Lights”, “Valentine’s day Puzzle” and many more. As we can see students are learning technologies even from a young age as young as Kindergarten.  In the middle school students already get the feel of technology; some may be a little more experience than others. But not all students know technology in the full techniques that they could know. Suite 101 says that the most important thing to know about teaching middle school students technology is to motivate them. “   Technology can be motivating to a student because it requires active participation. When students are actively engaged with a lesson they are also developing higher-order thinking skills and practicing problem solving strategies. Whether teaching a new technology skill or using technology to motivate students, remember to keep the lessons interactive and relevant. Junior high age students can learn about the computer parts by taking apart a machine. They can then physically hold and explore the components while researching what each is, how it is made and how it interacts with other parts. Then they can not only type a summary of their research but also include how this part is important for how they use a computer.” Ct4me.net showed they have an article on Computing Technology for Math Excellence, which they have different lesson plans as well. They prepare for math skills and also give help for preparing for the standardize tests. Students of all ages are learning something new of technology each day. The world is progressing more and more with the new systems we are having.  Work Cites 1.4teachders.org  [] 2. Abcya.com  [] 3. Suite 101  [] 4. Computing Technology for Math Excellence []
