If today's preschoolers all come from families who spend time on screens, then we need to adapt them in age appropriate ways to become learning tools. The balance lies in the way the technology is used, not in the technology itself. This book has valuable information for teachers, administrators, and parents. The approach of combining practitioners, researchers, and university faculty add a unique view of technology and the rapidly changing educational environments.

This book will be highly suitable as a personal reference for early childhood practitioners, for administrators, and for parents of young children. Early childhood educational organizations such as Head Start programs and the National Association for the Education of Young Children, childcare centers, preschools, kindergartens, and primary schools (1st through 3rd grades) might find this book useful.

Focusing on issues in early childhood and preschool use of technology, the authors look at instructional design, special education, and math and science education. The volume begins with chapters on beliefs, historical development, perceptions, and social cultural systems that influence technology and teaching practices in early childhood environments. [...]This volume is good for teachers, educators, and future teachers of early childhood, as well as others who work with this age group.
