  children not to be scared of technology, and it

NETS for StudentsExtra Key Point

• Use technology to aid in problem solving and
  decision making
• Problem solving and decision making is a huge
  part of children's lives today. Many children
  are not exposed to proper way to solve problems
  in their own lives and they struggle to make
  decisions. Technology can help students change
  these attitudes and create new, innovative ways
  to get out of a dilemma.
• Collaborate, publish, interact with others,
  including peers and experts
• This is such an important key point, because
  technology can provide an appropriate medium for
  students to interact and discuss issues,
  problems, ideas and thoughts with each other.
  Just like journals, technology can provide a
  place for students to share their own personal
  thoughts and beliefs as well without feeling like
  they are wrong or no worthy.
