Assessing technological tools for remote learning in early childhood

Abstract

Remote learning has been taken up by many schools and districts during the COVID-19 pandemic. In many cases, remote learning has been designed as online teaching and learning, using technology hardware and software often through web-based programs and resources. For teachers of young children, this is a big change from the role of technology and types of instruction previously used in their classrooms. Throughout the pandemic and in the changed world post pandemic, digital and technological tools for remote learning will likely continue to be used in new ways. This chapter uses the framework of developmentally appropriate practice to explore and assess the structure, activities, relationship building, and attention to development in technology used across domains of online learning.
