Thesis
Pre-school and elementary education, while very similar in many aspects, have many differences in the way they need to be taught based on
prior education, family influence, age level, and the teaching methods used by
the teacher.
Personal Relevance
I will be beginning college in the fall majoring in early childhood education
and hope my SGP research will give me some insight into some aspects of
being a teacher.
Relevance of Topic
Sure teaching seems easy, but in all reality it’s not. A lot of planning goes
into to every small thing we are taught from pre-school to when we graduate. Beginning from the basic school experience, I hope to show
this.

4 risks seen in implementing technology
into curriculums:1. Objectionable or inappropriate
material2. Cyber bullying
3. Online predators4. Invasion of privacy

Application Part I
For the first part of my application I have created two lesson plans (one for
pre-school and one for first grade.) Along with that, I
have a video of me teaching the students from the Little
Vikings Lab school.
Application Part II
For the second part, I have created two packets that, in
an actual school setting, could be used to practice the
material from my lesson plans.
