Description
This will be an engaging and interactive session in which we will demonstrate a range of innovative emergent technologies and help you experience the variety of ways they can support your work and your students’ learning. Collaborative-tools, Web-based applications, hand-held devices, and student-empowering computing; these new technologies are transforming the way people of all ages are learning and communicating. Come be inspired to explore these tools, learn how to get started, and how they can enable amazing new opportunities for your students. After an initial presentation about the continually changing role of the Web as a catalyst and conduit for learning, we will introduce an inspirational array of tools. For each technology we will discuss for what it was designed and how it is generally used, followed by more detailed information about applications in early childhood settings. References to research will provide a context for discussing its appropriate use. Specific examples will be provided based on experiences from the presenters’ work with young children and teachers, and from discussions of the NAEYC Technology & Young Children Interest Forum group. In a concluding discussion, participants will share their own questions and stories. To promote learning that will extend post-conference, Web-based resources will be provided to participants that relate to digital learning and tools.
