What We’ll Talk About Today
• What defines “new” technology?• How can technology be used in early
childhood classrooms to Support Literacy?• What does current research show about
outcomes for children when using tech?• Common Pitfalls to technology
implementations• Hatch Technology Solutions

Using Educational Technology to Literacy and School Readiness
We know:• Children are eager to learn.• How children learn.• The needed content for school readiness.• The results of three decades of research on
educational technology.

In all cases….young children have to TOUCH the tech!

TouchScreen ComputersKey features of touchscreen computers which fit well with use with early learners:• Reduction of cognitive
burden and frustration that comes from using mouse and keyboard
• Interactivity• Accessibility for all learners• When mobile, lots of
movement

Touchscreen Computer Research• McManis & McManis (2012) found preschool
children made significant and practical gains on literacy and math.

Literacy – Research Foundation
• Landmark study produced by NELP. • Used a meta-analyses approach. • Focused on the predictive
relationship between skills measured in preschool or kindergarten and
• Conventional literacy outcomes for children learning to read.

NELP Literacy Findings
To be school ready, young children must:• Be able to say most of the alphabet rapidly.• Be able to name objects rapidly.• Be able to write name or letters.• Be able to remember, detect and manipulate
sounds (phonological awareness).

Common Technology Pitfalls• Technology for technology’s sake• Not tied to research findings• Developmentally inappropriate practices• Not adequately supporting teachers• Lack of alignment and integration w/curriculum
& standards-not scaffolded• No or weak evaluation of outcomes• Random apps mean random
learning!
