Summary:

Blake (early childhood, Flagler College) et al. bring together researchers from the US for 15 chapters that consider the use of technology with young children by all educators, including teacher trainers, university faculty, parents, and classroom teachers. They address major issues from the perspectives of practitioners in early childhood, instructional design technology, special education, math and science education, and parents. They examine the beliefs, historic development, professional perceptions, and social norms that influence technology and early childhood education, including knowledge, the epistemology of young children, age appropriate technology, popular culture ideas, and social-emotional development; applications of technology in play, math, science, reading, and teacher and peer assessment; supporting parents with special needs children; and cyberbullying, Internet safety, and social networking.
