Type of technology I use in my every day life...

I am constantly using technology. Whether it's streaming videos on Netflix, watching TV or using my cell phone for Facebook, Instagram etc. Technology has come so far where it would be hard to imagine life without it. I get sports updates on my phone, keep in constant contact with my friends through text or phone calls, as well as keep in touch with other people through email. Technology is how everyone gets in contact with each other now-a-days. I don't use technology as much in my classroom. I would like to use it more but being a preschool teacher at Easter Seals we have some strict rules about technology. We receive national grants for reducing screen time. We are only allowed computer time with the children for educational purposes. I would like to be able to watch movies with my children occasionally or have the perks of using an Ipad or a tablet with some of my children that have special needs and thrive off the use of technology. I understand the reasoning behind limiting screen time but with a generation that lives primarily through technology it is hard to teach them without using the same technology they have become accustomed to.
