Children are accessing and using technology more than ever. It’s hard enough to parent a teenager with tech, but what about a young child? Children are receiving an education about the internet and tech before they can talk. This foundation of digital knowledge, norms, and routines is established young—and will have a significant impact on our children’s lives, education, and relationships as they grow.
How can educators help infants and young children understand how to use technology responsibly? This edWebinar will address:
- Healthy digital habits and routines
- Developmental stages and how they interact with technology
- Privacy and safety
- Research for technology’s effects on young children
This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-3 educators and librarians. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
