I believe that technology for early elementary could be a good thing. Using the computer and other technology can help students understand concepts better. In elementary schools teachers can test students to know if they understand what is being taught or what book the child is reading. If a child starts at a young age leaning how the use the computer and technology they will have an easier time in life with technology and doing school work. Today technology plays a large part in being successful. Technology can become a problem with some children if it is not monitored. Video games and entertain need to be monitored and be a reward for a child. But overall technology is a great thing for early elementary to learn to be successful in life. I do not like twitter because it is confusing. Maybe as the class goes on I will like it better. I just don't know how to use it and what it is for.

I think that you're right that using technology in a classroom will help students understand concepts better instead of just reading and be taught on a chalkboard.
