Yes technologies, but be careful.

First, I want to apologize because a few weeks ago that I write on the blog. There have been a few weeks of hard work, But I'm back here, and an article by a topic that fascinates me: technologies in education.

When people ask me for iKidz methodology and tell them about our digital space and use of the Tablet in class, Some believe that our system ignores the role of the teacher, the activities we use can be used by children independently without any guidance, but it's not like that.

In iKidz we believe that technologies offer us endless possibilities, above all, in order to customize the learning process. But the teacher's role in guiding this process is essential if we are to occur truly effective learning.

Last week I wrote an article with some tricks and tips, from my point of view, I could very well come to review the script with the kids.

We are all aware that one of the great difficulties is that English spelling and phonetics are different.

In this article a few weeks ago, I left some chips to work with kids, especially child, basic concepts such as colors, months of the year, etc.

The problem is that once you are immersed in the maelstrom of contents, exams, duties, etc., representing primary, it is almost impossible to spend time working phonetics as we should. What can we do, then, to get our kids write and read correctly in English?
