When we think of technology we often think of it as detrimental and specifically to children. However, it is also important that we understand that there are many benefits to technology as well.
This website lists the good that technology offers, some of which are; technology allows creativity and freedom of expression, technology aids in socialization and relationship building, technology allows for independence and empowerment. https://www.idtech.com/blog/benefits-of-technology-for-children#:~:text=Benefits%20of%20Technology%20for%20Kids.%201%201.%20Technology,Technology%20helps%20instill%20an%20entrepreneurial%20spirit.%20More%20items
Some children need technology! Non-verbal children, selective-mutes may only be able to communicate through technology. It is critical that as educators we always keep an open mind.
