Technology should be well-integrated into existing learning stations, adding a new dimension to children’s experience and creative expression: a camera and computer that allow children to send their grandparents pictures of themselves in costumes, for example.
Collaboration, communication, and real-world connections are key.
There are a lot of products out there, and there's a lot of variance in quality. That's especially true in early childhood, which a lot of developers gravitate towards, because they think it's easy to teach A-B-C and 1-2-3. Parents and caregivers are asked to be wise enough to ask following questions about any technology and digital tools they are considering using with their children:
- Are the materials high-quality? Who designed them? Are they developmentally appropriate and consistent with research on young children's learning?
- Are expert guidelines around children's exposure to screens being respected?
- Are parents truly using the materials to interact more and better with their children? Or are they using technology as a replacement for face-to-face interaction, as often happens with everything from television to apps?
- Is the focus on recognizing and supporting each individual child's development, or on getting all children on the same sequence?
- Are the data generated by the digital learning tools meaningful and accurate?
- Are the teachers/experts consulting with parents qualified and capable?
