Description This subject will develop students’ understanding of young children’s digital engagement and how to build on their technology experiences to develop quality learning in early childhood settings. Vital to this process is an understanding of how young children use technology and the implications of their digital engagement for their play, learning and development. Students will critically explore various aspects of children’s digital engagement including the various ways young children use technology, the factors that contribute to their use, and the learning that occurs through their device play. Strategies for building on children’s digital worlds in the curriculum will also be critically reviewed. In this subject students will explore technology-based learning experiences for children in early childhood contexts.
