Reflections on field trip to Child First @ Dunearn

This visit to Child First @ Dunearn had been an eye opener in allowing us to see and experience how technology can be effectively integrated into preschool classrooms to serve as teaching aids to enhance children's learning and development. With the rapidly changing digital age, technology has become a common element in most children’s lives. After this visit to Child First, in my opinion, technology integration is indispensable to enhance and support learning. I felt that the software programs that the preschool is currently using is age and developmentally appropriate. The stimulating colors and interactive activities are appealing to motivate children to construct their learning. At the same time, it is very well catered to the Singapore context, where children are becoming more technologically-savvy. Also, the computer lab that they have in the preschool is a great opportunity to encourage peer learning as children communicate with each other while working on individual computers.
