Session description

In this session we will explore and discuss NAEYC's research supporting play based learning and their recommendations for technology use in the early grades. We will examine academic and ISTE standards, and the Triple E Framework (Liz Kolb) to discover how technology can be used to support age appropriate learning.

Purpose & objective

Since Covid teachers and students have increased access to digital tools and resources; however the training need to support effective technology integration has not always been provided. In this session we will explore how the ISTE standards and Technology can be used to support standards and engaging research based instruction.

At the conclusion of this session educators will have a deeper understanding of research surrounding technology in the early childhood classroom, and how the ISTE standards can be used to support the planning of developmentally appropriate content. Educators will leave the session with a collection of ideas and resources can that easily be used when they get back to their classrooms.
