Hi mates! Here you have my link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22219881, I have chosen this topic because I think this is an issue that concerns everyone.
Does technology hinder or help toddlers' learning?
Nowadays, technology play a role very important in our lives, but the most important: Does technology hinder or help toddlers’ learning?(tablets, computers..) They clearly have many advantages for the children. However, there are also some drawbacks.
On the one hand, there are several surveys that show us that kids who are interacting with touch screens learn faster. I want to point out that computers allow interaction and they can control and make that things happen, however with television, they watch and do not control anything. Another advantage is that there are many educational apps available for kids that encourage them to learn in a fun way about shapes, numbers, alphabets, colours to name but a few.
On the other hand, technology could be addictive if children spend a lot of time in front of screens and they can miss a lot of experiences that they can found in the environment. Moreover other disadvantages is the lack of human interaction, they should play outside with other children, they need explore with all their senses. For instance, children seeing, hearing, smelling and touching things that are necessary for their learning.
In conclusion, technology can be really helpful tools if is used in a proper way to help them to learn correctly, and not all the time, or instead of other things.
