In today's digital world, children are often exposed to devices such as smartphones and tablets during early stages of development. Here is how education applications can encourage learning in children.
2. 2
Establishing Environments
Children begin to learn about the world around them at an early
age. With neurological research stressing the importance of early
brain development, it is important to establish environments for
young children that encourage learning. In today’s digital world,
the passing of devices like tablets and smartphones from parents
to children is an opportunity to do just that.
SMARTPHONE APPLICATIONS
Apps can be a convenient way to promote
early childhood tech education. In particular,
apps geared toward the Spanish speaking
community, like Juana y Los Amigos de la Granja,
address the digital divide that is widening
between young Latinos and their white peers
in the U.S.

But...
why is thisgap so prevalent in the first place? It is not due to a lack
of access, as was once thought. In fact, a study conducted by the Joan Ganz
Cooney Center shows that due to the prevalence of mobile devices like
smart phones, access to digital media among Latinos is actually increasing.

Instead,
the difference between the two groups is how they use the technology, not
whether or not they have access to it. The same study shows that while there
is an increase in the “pass back” of devices between parents and children in
Latino households, it lags behind that of whites. This is because the primary
tool of entertainment/education in Latino households remains the television.
However, with the rapid growth of the Spanish language (currently 2nd in the
world among native speakers), quality apps that promote bilingual education
are becoming more available.

Little Pim, for example, is a fun app that teaches vocabulary associated with
eating, drinking, playing, sharing, sleeping and waking. It includes a number of
interactive games that are bound to engage young users.
Children with more active imaginations may benefit from Kandoobi Animales,
an immersive app that features over 100 domestic and wild animals. It’s a fun
way to teach children language skills, while at the same time, expose them to
the many different animals that are in the world.

For those parents who are unable to spring for those $2.99 apps, Ana Lomba‘s
Spanish for Kids apps are free, and tell entertaining stories to teach young
children Spanish or English.
Regardless of which bilingual education apps parents choose, they are an
important step in getting Latino parents more digitally involved. Here’s hoping
that more apps are developed in the future to encourage an active “pass back”
culture in Latino communities.
