Despite the enthusiast nature of using computers in learning, research disputes its effectiveness especially in elementary schools like kindergarten. Learners in elementary schools are raw and naive and require proper guidance from educators as opposed to exposing them to technology. Therefore, the following steps would inform best learning strategy in elementary schools.
Arithmetic and simple reading techniques is another step in producing knowledgeable elementary students. It should be emphasised that learners require the basics of academics as opposed to the direct exposure to technology. When fundamentals of simple arithmetic and reading skills are realised in a student at elementary schools, they are likely to attain a higher interest in embracing technology. It would help them understand how various techniques in computers are achieved with proper exposure to the basics of academics. The above step can be attained through question and answer strategy developed by the teacher (Khine, Myint and Saleh 41).
Extra-curricular in areas of sports, games and talent related activities are the third step in elementary schools. Education incorporates various activities that do not stop with intellect and academic skills only. Children in elementary schools have more time in engaging in extra-curricular activities as they begin their educational endeavours. It can be developed through an organized competition where there are incentives and rewards for winners (Gelineau 31).
