Why should we embrace technology?

How can it make the practitioner’s role easier?

This book is the answer to these questions, equipping Early Years practitioners with the skills and knowledge to use technology: both that which they already have, and that which they can access from beyond the setting (such as in the local community and online).

Written by an expert in both Early Years and Digital Inclusion, it provides practical tips and guidance for practitioners working at all levels to implement the use of technology across all areas of the curriculum and to support the development of the characteristics of effective learning. Drawing on contemporary theory and research, chapters cover key topics such as:

the short- and long-term benefits of incorporating technology for children, families, and staff making the most of pre-existing technology alongside guidance on how best to use new technology consideration of safeguarding issues around the use of technology with children technology beyond the setting and the use of local resources how technology can support professional development potential pitfalls of using technology

Containing links to curriculum and reflective prompts, this engaging and accessible book is essential reading for those interested in using technology to develop as a practitioner and continue to provide the best care and learning for every child.
