Describe how selected technological tools will impact

Reference no: EM13389846

According to NAEYC, effective practices involving technology "allow children to explore digital materials in the context of human interactions, with an adult as mediator and co-player" (NAEYC, 2012, p. 1). Technology has changed the socio-cultural environment globally and we, as educators of young children, need to change how we approach social and emotional support for our children. The perceptions of the effects computers and other technology tools have on social/emotional development of young children may influence the acceptance and use of technology in early care and education settings. This is also true for children with special needs who may benefit from interactive media as well as assistive technologies (AT).

Successful technology integration is more than just having technology available. Your technology integration should reflect effective classroom practices. Once you have examined what level of access you have and what possibilities this access affords you, it is time to address your own comfort level with the technology. You can then begin to seek out professional development opportunities online and outside of your current setting to begin to connect with other educators exploring the same challenges and seeking solutions.
