I believe in Disney

Image
I am a certified Disney enthusiast. I have always have been and believe that I always will be. In fact, coming up on my 30 th birthday, I have asked for a DisneyParks Dooney and Burke wristlet. Being so in love with Disney, I am connected to animated children’s culture in and out of my kindergarten classroom. As a child, I was a young girl in love with every new Disney character and movie that was released. Each of my birthday parties was based on a different character beginning at the age of three. It began with Minnie Mouse, then Ariel from “The Little Mermaid”, then Belle from “Beauty and the Beast”. This continued with Cinderella from “Cinderella”, Mulan from “Mulan”, and so on. I first traveled to Walt Disney World in Florida with my parents at the age of five. We stayed at a resort on the property, the golf club based off Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. While it no longer exists today, I can still remember every part of it…the carved dwarfs in the trees, the brow...

Who Am I? What I believe

Image
The Written Assignment Kindergarten is my world. Kinder es mi mundo . I have been an early childhood educator for eight years. I have learned, cried, taught, and loved. My students enter my classroom as babies and leave as children. My children are blank slates. They come from backgrounds unforeseen by most; they have difficulty in communicating as they were never taught how to talk and how to share. At school, we teach them in their home language and a new language; whether that be English and Spanish or Spanish and English . We are changing their lives; expanding their horizons; creating bilingual and bi-literate humans. We are their beginning. We set the foundation for their years to come. Without us, they fall between the cracks; their foundational skills are missing; they do not know anything about who they are. I don’t teach to teach. I teach to impact. To create. To explore. To laugh. Like Kelly Reed, I make the time to allow students to create. They are kindergar...

Really? A digital native?

Image
What do you make of the (divergent) positions of Boyd and Prensky (per our discussion in class and/or per the article above?)  Where do you stand on the “digital native” terminology? As stated in my previous blog, I am a digital immigrant. Born in 1987, I believe that Prensky is incorrect in his statement that a digital native is born after 1980. Yet, I also do not agree with Boyd’s representation either that it is dangerous to assume that children and youth are automatically informed. The title of a digital native and a digital immigrant is not cut and dry. There are gray lines in these definitions and how the world views both groups. Boyd discusses how everyone has something to offer when it comes to technology. Technology is ever changing and we are all constant learners. I am in agreement with her statement that we are all constant learners, yet children today are born with different brains than those of times before. Research states that children are not the same as...
