Since I am an Early Childhood major I could be asked to construct something with lego s or blocks. I also used this as a forum to give some of my views in regards to young children. I believe that many of our goals for education need to begin with emergent literacy at home and continued with developmentally appropriate early childhood programs. This need for change in regards to both position statements are necessary because of technology and societal changes as a whole. In regards to both changes the standards are not set in a curriculum for all teachers to follow, rather they are a broad set of standards to be emerged into a curriculum.
Language development is an important aspect for all to achieve the necessary skills as an adult.
As language develops the necessary skills develop as well. The answer that was given in the article was the ability to communicate by reading, speaking, listening, and viewing. Technology, although present in some form for many years has grown so rapidly that education now has many venues to use technology in the classroom. This includes technology in the basic four components of literacy. Teachers and educators will have to become literate in technology to help facilitate literacy in children.
