We are looking for TYC Interest Forum members to volunteer a little bit of their time during Thursday, November 19 and Friday, November 20 during the NAEYC Annual Conference to make Tech on Deck the most successful technology in early childhood event. About Tech on Deck Tech on Deck is a professional learning experience designed to help early care and education professionals learn about innovative technologies through hands-on experience and demonstrations at the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Annual Conference. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in conversations on how technology and digital media tools can be integrated into their unique setting. Participants will also have the opportunity to share resources and join the Technology and Young Children Interest Forum (TYCIF).

Search and watch millions of videos indexed from all over the web. Upload and share videos with the world.

This website is a very good resource for teachers. They can find almost any video to use as a visual component for their lessons. It is nice because it shows videos from sites such as youtube, as well as other video websites. Teachers would also be able to upload videos of their class to share with parents or other educators.

This would be a great resource to use when counseling children. In conjunction with Art Therapy, the child could create characters to express themselves and situations. These could be saved, shared, and used to analyze the child's progress.

children can create a character and add voice as a means of expressing themselves.

Kids ask lots of questions, right? "Do fish sleep?" "Why do balls bounce?" Sometimes the answers are hard to explain! I came across this website called Whyzz.com. While the site describes it for parents, I think it would be a wonderful resource for teachers, especially when children are engaged in investigative studies. Try it out!

Interested to hear if/how people might be using the iPad with young children, to provide new learning opportunities. Please share news/resources about this, and particularly any hands on uses (if you try things out), would love to hear about it.
