Thesis

Pre-school and elementary education, while very similar in many aspects, have many differences in the way they need to be taught based on

prior education, family influence, age level, and the teaching methods used by

the teacher.

Personal Relevance

I will be beginning college in the fall majoring in early childhood education

and hope my SGP research will give me some insight into some aspects of

being a teacher.

Relevance of Topic

Sure teaching seems easy, but in all reality it’s not. A lot of planning goes

into to every small thing we are taught from pre-school to when we graduate. Beginning from the basic school experience, I hope to show

this.

4 risks seen in implementing technology

into curriculums:1. Objectionable or inappropriate

material2. Cyber bullying

3. Online predators4. Invasion of privacy

Application Part I

For the first part of my application I have created two lesson plans (one for

pre-school and one for first grade.) Along with that, I

have a video of me teaching the students from the Little

Vikings Lab school.

Application Part II

For the second part, I have created two packets that, in

an actual school setting, could be used to practice the

material from my lesson plans.
