Reflect on the question ‘How do tablet devices develop our children’s play?’
- Print the Reflect on technology in play poster.
- Display it in a prominent place at your preschool or school.
- Use the poster to start a conversation about how you incorporate digital play in your program. Take note of these interactions and keep them as evidence for your Quality Improvement Plan or school reporting.
- Technology use is part of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and Australian Curriculum. Consider the learning outcomes from the EYLF and AC that are emerging in your program or that you are currently planning for. How does technology contribute to these outcomes?
- Consider the screen-time guidelines. What are your personal feelings about children using tablet devices? How can you talk to others about this?
- Think about how staff can be supported to use tablet devices with the children?
- The families in the videos from this topic are well-informed. Think about how best to include the families and what information they might need.
