Children use a lot of technology. They use technology whether they are using social media, using a learning program, or reading an electronic book. The truth is, that there are more positives than negatives when children use technology. There is fear that if children use too much technology they will not have proper development especially cognitively. This paper will show how technology can benefit a child’s cognitive development.

The Health and Safety at Work Act The HASAWA was formed in 1974, The HASAWA covers just about every industry in the UK from construction to manufacture. The responsibility begins with the employer. It is their duty to enforce the rules set out within the act. Failure to do so can often lead to penalties such as imprisonment and fines.

Product influences effect a range of different internal structures and operations within a business. The type of goods and services being produced by the business will affect how the business operates internally. If the goods are physically large or require many raw material inputs, structures will be required to organise and monitor the processes involved in production. On the other hand, a service can be delivered by a home-based business or a franchise business, such as Jim’s Mowing. This will in turn influence the internal structures and processes differently.

Reactive and proactive changes for external and internal factors can have a major impact on a business. Using the PEST acronym, there are four main factors that can influence the business:

Records creation results straight from the transaction of business. People and organisation do business results in the creation of records. A record must be intentionally created because managing the transaction, by itself, does not create the record. Records that will be accountable cannot be created or managed without an acceptable record keeping system. Record management practises, and in particular record creations, must be put through the system as they have to follow the policies and the procedures and the application of best practise.

Health and Safety at Work Act (1974): This is the main piece of health and safety legislation in the UK. This sets out a base of guidelines and principles for employers and helps secure the health, safety and welfare of people at work, control handling of dangerous/harmful storage substances, and to control dangerous chemicals or gases that could find their way into the atmosphere. This legislation is important for the job of a PE teacher as there is a lot of various sporting equipment that the teacher has the authority to use, and therefore some of this equipment could be dangerous, therefore this act means PE teachers and other teachers have to take special care, warn others and show them how to use the equipment properly (such as children),

I would agree with this, as I have seen evidence within my setting, that when situations are presented, children can independently operate technology items used for a specific purpose. I see technology as being part of good practice within our planning to acknowledge the existence of modern technology and its part in children’s lives today, both at home and within my setting.

Technology offers children an additional tool to learn and to develop learning skills. Computers can reveal hidden strengths about a child. For example some children have difficulty developing their fine motor skill,

Now as a parent one way I use technology to further enhance a child’s socialization, I will make sure I talk right and show him sights to learn from like enhancing

I chose for standard # 4 Technology and Children from EDU 271. Because technology has the greatest impact in a student's learning pattern, it is important to understand in what ways we can use technology for our students. Throughout this assignment I learned that technology is a way to open students’ eyes to the world, but their effectiveness depends on them being used appropriately, with the right curriculum goals in mind, and by teachers who possess the skills necessary in their use. I consider that computers are appropriate in the development of student ages three and above because they are developmentally within Piaget’s preoperational stage. While this is true, the developmental needs of

In today’s society we are overwhelmed with technology. Technology is changing everyday, and will forever be a staple in our lives. The effect that technology has on our children has brought on some concerns and some praises. Children these days have no choice but to some how be influenced by the ever growing technology in our societies. Our common concern has been that although digital technology has boosted children’s talent for multitasking, their ability to process information deeply may be deteriorating (Carpenter, 2010). Many people have a wide range of opinions on if technology is having a positive influence on our children or a negative, there is a vast amount of evidence to support both of these arguments. Technology can refer to

If there is any doubt that health and safety procedures are not being followed then immediate action is required. As a company it is important staff work as trained and therefore should be aware of which steps to take if a risk occurs or there is a potential hazard which could cause harm. It is important that staff are supported and when speaking to an individual, management should try to establish whether the non - compliance is through miss-understanding, lack of knowledge or just not responsible practice, ensuring that staff have the right guidance and support in regards to additional training if needed.

The purpose of this study is to show that technology assistive can improve and advance young children with or without special needs. Technology has advance through the years and all children are more interest in learning skills with technology devices. My action research project has four children the majority are two to nine year of age that can benefit for technologies in tasks at school and home with and without special needs. The technologies assist can be more creativity, innovation, communication, collaboration, research, and information fluency with learning and teaching young children that allow them to take focus and listening to the tasks. It can prove for the great beneficial in achieving and giving knowledge of their future goals.

With the constant innovation of technology, today’s children are constantly captivated by the newest inventions. Society has surrounded its focus on technology. It is everywhere and involved with everything we do. How we get to places, how we communicate, and it even makes our food. In current day we are extremely dependent on technology as so our children will. Technology is presented early to children too. It is given as toys for birthdays and holidays. In the UK parents have spent over “£3 billion on tech gifts for their children in 2013, spending an average of £243 each” (Curtis). This prices rises every year all around the world.

Using technology as a way of creating a new and interesting approach to learning we will reengage children to love learning. Through Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics also, known as S.T.E.A.M we can allow our children to discover the world in a new inventive way. S.T.E.A.M technology allows children to have a hands-on approach that builds cognitive, social/ emotional skills, and fine motor skills. Developing these skills in early childhood is important in developing their minds and building necessary skills that help them later in school as well as life. Using technology is a way of creating a new and interesting approaches to learning.
