Using Technology in Preschool Age
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity discourage any amount or type of screen media and screen time for children under 2 years of age and recommend no more than one to two hours of total screen time per day for children age 2 through 5.
Technology and media are tools that are effective only when used appropriately. In school we use CD Players, Digital Cameras, Voice Recorders, Computers and even short educational videos online in order to expand, enrich, implement, individualize, differentiate, and extend our curriculum.
Apps, digital games, and other technology products that promise to build early literacy and math skills through mobile devices and other platforms are everywhere these days.
But are those products any good?
Bellow you can find links that will help you choose the right software and applications for your children's leisure time.
