If  properly  used,  technology  can  serve  as  a  catalyst  for  social  interac5on  &  rich  

conversa5ons  related  to  children's  work.

technology    in  the    

early  childhood    classroom  

As  with  any  learning  tool,  technology  should  be  used  alongside  a  variety  of  

learning  experiences.  hAp://flic.kr/p/qJCrZ    

Adults  should  consistently  model    the  use  of  technology  in  everyday  

 life  for  children.      

Interac5ve  educa5onal  games  can  provide  immediate  feedback  and  

encouragement  to  children.  

Apps  can  provide  nonlinguis5c  representa5on  for  learning  using  a  combina5on  of  audio,  video  and  

interac5vity.  

Learning  is  a  layered  process  

Technology  • Computers  • Digital  Cameras  •  iPads  &  iPods  

Manipula0ves  • Curricular  tools  &  objects  that  further  explain  a  concept
