The Vision Guide, and the Vision Board
K. T. Korngold
Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, v35 n4 p28-29 2023
There's a lot of debate in the Montessori community about the use of technology for children. But the COVID-19 pandemic forced many people to get comfortable with learning online--and now the number of learners in online programs is on the rise. K. T. Korngold examines how her father, Bob Korngold, was an early advocate for technology in Montessori. The author discusses their creation of a new material for the Montessori environment that would help children learn the position of the keys on a keyboard, called the Vision Board. The author feels that her father would truly enjoy seeing Montessori children interacting with the letter tiles in this format and beginning their process of becoming adept at engaging on the computer.
