Technology is part of our children’s world, but what role should it actually play in an early learning centre?
In Episode 9 of This Mamma Chats, I talk about the use of technology in early childhood settings and why I think we need to be really intentional about when, how and why it is being used.
From screens and tablets to taking photos, documenting learning and using digital tools behind the scenes, technology can have a place in early learning. But for me, it should never replace the things young children need most: play, movement, relationships, conversation, creativity and real-world experiences.
I also talk about why my expectations around technology at kindy can be different to the choices I make as a parent at home. Children already have plenty of opportunities to engage with screens outside of care, so I believe early learning environments have a responsibility to protect space for hands-on, child-led learning wherever possible.
This episode is not about saying technology is all good or all bad. It is about finding the balance and making sure every digital tool being used actually has a purpose.
