Until now, there have only been a few broad-brush reports that lump 'technology' into single or narrow categories that don't provide the specifics needed to inform early education directors' decision-making. Some existing studies about young children and technology are focused on technology or television use at home. Other surveys focused on educational technology in K-12 classrooms. This study isolates classroom use of interactive technology tools.

Interested in tipsheets/simple materials for parents/families of young children related to media diet. If others have good examples, would be great if you can bookmark/share them here with a mediadiet tag. Thanks!

Please take a look and complete this survey from NAEYC...

The Early Childhood Technology Collaborative (ECTC). ECTC is a group of three early childhood technologists with lots of questions: Lilla Dale McManis, Ph.D. from Hatch Early Learning, Karen Nemeth, Ed.M. from Language Castle, and Fran Simon, M.Ed. from Engagement Strategies.

We're often asked for detailed information on how educators are using blogs. So we've surveyed educators on their use of blogs and combined it with benefits of blogging responses.

Includes "Pre-K" teachers for 2nd year. Interesting stats on K-12 vs. Pre-K access to technology and usage of digital media.
