Secondly Alexa is our all time favourite. Be it animal sounds, weather, rhymes, songs I can play anything anytime.
The writo pen is an awesome speaking tool. It gives us answers to the questions in his book.
Lastly skype video session with our parents feels like sitting with them.

So technology improve child learning power , ciryocity to about things. Technology improve child creativity. If parents & teachers are involved than technology can help kids in learning. Few benefits of technology.
1. Expressing creativity. Many apps allow kids to express their creativity with photos, music, coloring, making funny voices, or creating their own movies.
2. Advancing educational opportunities. Technology allows kids to access a variety of learning materials involving everything from letters and numbers, to states, spelling and learning new languages. Some sites, like k12.com, even allow kids to attend online school. Children with special needs and other disabilities can especially benefit from apps and tech-based devices because they help improve communication skills and change how the kids interact with others. Technology also makes it easier for these kids to focus on specific subjects they may be struggling with .
3. Developing mental muscles. Some research indicates that specific apps and games can enhance kids ability to concentrate. Other apps help kids to meditate and focus on mindfulness. If these apps do what they claim, then they not only boost brain power but can be very beneficial for children with anxiety or attention deficit issues.
4. Preparing for the future. Most of todays jobs require the use of technology Regardless of our ambitions for our children or their own goals, technology will likely be a part of their career. Kids who learn to type, communicate in online settings, and have a basic understanding of navigating and troubleshooting online problems can have a real advantage in the work force..
5. Learning (and teaching) something new. As parents, we know that when were doing something new its much easier to show than tellespecially with our kids. Technology is great for this! Whether were exploring a new language, trying a science experiment, wondering what whale poop looks like (Thank you, potty training book, for making my kids wonder that.), baking something fun, or failing horribly at a craft, tech can be a great tool to help. With parental supervision of course, weve learned how to look up video tutorials, explore Pinterest, and download apps that help us learn all sorts of new things. When we were little, we had to pile into the car, drive to the library, and check out books to learn this stuff. Now our kids have it all at their fingertips. Our kids are wired to look for information this way, and once they figure it out they can teach the rest of us parents and grandparents who might be so savvy at accessing these things.

Technology reflects in our kids in a very positive way only when we guide towards the matter.

There are a lot of online apps and pages which are providing each & every information with the relevant sources.
They have to choose and click only & the content is available to read. Children can read books online and understand the concepts with the help of today's technology.
Even you can clear your doubts and get the correct answer too. For the kids, who don't have proper guidance available at home, can also understand & enhance their knowledge.
I appreciate the effect of technology on a child's learning.

We live in a competitive world, education is not the same that it used to be 20-30 years earlier. we can't deny the fact that technology has made learning easy, interesting and time saving. Technology in form of laptops, computers, videogames etc. has brought a revolution in the education system.
Concentration power of every child is not the same. He/ she may not walk pace to pace with the classroom. For these children e-learning apps are very useful. They can go through the same topic again and again till they are confident.
3-D technology and designing helps to visualize the imagination.
Technology broadens the thinking and imagination power of the children.
Projects and assignments can be made with ease.
We want are children to excel in academics, attend extra curricular activities, take part in sports and so on. They can't afford to loose time. Technology helps them to do smart work. Gain more knowledge in many area within short time.

The trick is to take the youngest generations addiction to technology and use it as an educational advantage. Technology based living provides a multitude of benefits to the students, they can learn at their own pace, gain technological literacy and skills useful beyond school and in the real life.
Several benefits of incorporating technology into the classroom for children include:
*engaging students to learn
*bridging gap between academics and the actual workforce
*diversification of the teaching methods
Technolgy helps educate children in best ways but free access to technology is not advisable.

Parental involvement is another factor that can increase student achievement. Most parents these days have extremely busy schedules, work different hours, and cant always help their child with homework or come to school for conferences. Technology can help. Parents can go to a class website and see what their child is working on, they can contact teachers via email and web sites, and they can even check their childs attendance and grades through online systems. They can also talk to their children from work via email and instant messaging.

One can be in touch with relatives & friends, learn multiple things,search & research all that is needed without opening dictionary for spellings,google everything, a child can expand his knowledge regarding art,craft,science & everything. Technology helps a child to learn faster,become independent on tackling his problems in various subjects. Technology increases the childs knowledge too.

Technology aids child to learn in several ways as follows:
1. It helps in building child's Growth Mindset instead of Fixed Mindset.
2. A child can explore the world by just interacting on the screen
3. It aims to provide realistic and specific base knowledge. It's good to rely on technology source rather than human source who misguide us for their own benefit.
4. A child is able to analyze the problem and seek for the solution with the help of technology
5. A child is able to dig as much as knowledge of their passionate field to gain mastery and can survive happily in competitive era.
All in all, Use of technology in allotted time is beneficial for a child to progress sharply.

Technology has its own pros and cons. Today's education system has Smart classes, many schools have total studying mythologies thru tablets. The child is exposed to gadgets from the learning place itself. So we can't deny the fact of not allowing them or ask them to cut down the screen time. As a teacher when I address my students they have quick answers, google baba has already solved their queries before they enter the class. Kids nowadays are more prompt and smart when technology is concerned. The TV flashes the adds of various apps to download for studying. But certainly kids are avoiding being outside and have play time outdoors.
So, technology is now playing an important role in children 's life.
Abhishek chauhan May 10, 2019
Well, not necessarily.
Experts agree that used the right way, technology can enhance the learning experience. And not just for students, either. But for educators, too.Of course, technology will never and should never replace flesh and blood teachers. That said, educators are steadily seeing the benefits of blended learning. And if new technologies enhance the learning experience, doesnt it stand to reason that teachers would be willing to embrace them? But how exactly does technology help teachers create a more productive and effective learning environment? And what do students stand to gain.

When I say technology-I mean kiddy laptops, audio visual games, smart phones,
Different writing and reading learning apps, traditional computers and list goes long.
Using technology has interested my child to learning rhymes in different language.
She has an audio game which helps her to learn her alphabets and phonics. There are also the apps which encourage the children to learn different languages through interesting ways like story telling and develop multi linguistic skills.
Listed are only a few benefits but, if used wishfully, certainly technology has many benefits for the children.

Technology has many pros . We are able to surf any detail in it. Our children are able to hear and see stories which our grand mother told us to make us sleep.
Now we get e-books to read which saves trees and space. Our children are able to study difficult subject with easy explanations online. They no need to go anywhere, as they can study tuitions from home through online .
There are digital library for them to refer. There are lots of advancement in the technology.
But using too much of it , may crippe them too... Go out to get fresh air and play well outside, to recharge yourself to use the advanced technology.

I am a mother of a 22-month-old son. My son is not able to use two syllable speech or language. Being parents we got concerned about this and discussed the issue with the doctor. Dr said it's normal as it mostly depends on the surroundings and how much time he spends with people using his speech and language skill. As for my child, he is left with no one at home the whole day to speak with and I am busy with my online job and sometimes with homely chores. So I got him a mobile phone where he talks with talking tom making and producing different sounds with him. Sometimes I download some videos of animals, birds, and babies. He picked up a few words from there and now he is learning letters and also he tries to pronounce it. He is also able to call the names of colors though not very clearly. He insists me using his speech trying to make me understand that he wants to see some particular video that he came across and liked. He is a child and if given a mobile phone or any other gadgets he won't feel to get part with them. So, being parents we need to look into this and allow our children to use technologies to some extent. We should put a limitation on its use. Then only technology can be useful and a helping hand for us otherwise it can affect adversely.
So I am using my brain by not making my baby completely rely on technology for each thing to learn. Yes, technology is definitely a mode that forms a part of my babies learning but not the whole! It plays a very important role keeping my son engaged while learning when we are busy with our chores.

Now a days no missing out of home work.. everything through WhatsApp msgs and parents able to follow it up.
School teachers also guide through WhatsApp group.
Doubt in lessons??no worry, anyone can teach you through zoom, Skype. Sitting in home comfortably, lessons are being taught clearly through computer.
Videos are more effective and children learn Very easily.
