Children use digital technologies and media to access information, investigate ideas and represent their thinking
The Early Years Learning Framework asks early childhood professionals to acknowledge that “technologies are a feature of children’s lives and, as such, will be a feature of their imaginative and investigative play”.
Educators can have confidence in children to use technology correctly and appropriately. Teach them the required skills and safety practices, but also give them independence and a sense of agency.
