What is REALLY Happening with Technology in Early Childhood Education: Voices...
What is REALLY Happening with Technology in Early Childhood Education: Voices...Engagement Strategies, LLC
The document summarizes key findings from a 2012 survey of early childhood educators on their use of technology in the classroom. Some of the main findings are:
- Educators use technology primarily to engage children and support learning goals, though it is used as a supplement rather than the focus.
- The most commonly used technologies are laptop/desktop computers, interactive whiteboards, and tablets. Time spent on devices varies but is not considered excessive.
- Technology is used most for language/literacy and math activities and less for social-emotional goals. Educators guide technology use but also encourage child-driven activities.
- Professional development opportunities are available but comfort levels vary depending on the specific technology.EdubloggerCon East 2011 IGNITE Presentation

Play, create and learn: What matters most for five-year-olds?
The OECD International Early Learning and Child Well-being Study asked over 4 500 five-year-olds what they liked best about their kindergarten or school.
Almost all children gave very specific answers, and many explained the reasoning behind their views.
Andreas Schleicher explores what we can learn from these children and how this can help education systems provide the best possible early learning environments.
Key questions we will address are:
-Why should education leaders and practitioners listen to children’s views, including children in the early years?
-What is the role of play in early cognitive and social-emotional development?
-Is there a trade-off between intentional teaching and learning, and unstructured play?
