=**Topic : Ipad in the classroom**= media type="youtube" key="4oEgxwLhvV8" width="303" height="252" I agree with Vygostsky’s theory about the learning process of children. According to Vygostsky, when children have a helper who is able to assist for them with a good guidance and skilled person such as teachers, good guidance, and more skilled-children in the peer group. In addition, children who has supportive guidance and a nurturing social environment can forge ahead and build strong social competences. In this point, children can extend their social skill with others, and are interested in their subject. So, scaffolding in child guidance is a teacher’s changing support during a discipline encounter or series of interactions.

In Orcutt school district in Santa Barbara County, California, Superintendent Pat Eggleton leads students learning process. The school has six networked computers for writing in every class Eggleton has observed the literacy growth of her students who began writing on computers in kindergarten and excel in writing as sixth graders. They win local writing contests, have their own Web page, communicate through e-mail with students across the world, and use computers for their learning daily. So, computers are part of the students’ literate lives.

I’d like to apply technology for learning process in students’ language and literacy acquisition at the classroom, I want to have a supporting from administrators to use IPad, and participate student’s project. If teacher’s can provide students of a good technology or useful software, the students can achieve the good result in their studies. In case of kindergartener, I recommend to use ‘Story app’ from IPad, also apply in writing software for 3rd-5th grade students.
