Preschool Technology Readiness Mission

The purpose of this blog is to explore the use of technology in the preschool classroom, considering different ideas, research, and methods, and to build a community of educators, parents, techies, and anyone interested in technology in preschool, where we can share our ideas and knowledge. We, the authors and contributors, are Early Childhood Education students, currently studying ECE Curriculum. Our textbook, The Creative Curriculum For Preschool (Diane Trister Dodge, Laura J. Colker, and Cate Heroman), is the foundation of our site, specifically with its chapter on computers (chapter 15).

We invite you, our readers, to reflect upon the importance of computers in preschool and consider the questions involved. Also, to share your experiences, knowledge, and resources with us, and those who frequent our blog.

Thank You!

Preschool Technology Readiness: What is the role of computers in the preschool cla...

With the current trend of computerizing everything, even young children are not spared. The use of computers in preschool settings have been implemented nowadays. Our task as parents and teachers will be to monitor and supervise closely computer usage by the kids. Knowledge derived from the computer can be very informative and educational for the youngsters but it is up to us adults how much exposure these little kids needed at he moment. The thing is, go ahead. Let children use these computers. Just supervise them so they don't fall victims to some health issues as well as not being  exposed to malicious contents.
