Children in the Digital Age [25-Pack]: A Guide for Families

Technology has become woven into our everyday lives—the ways in which we gather and share information have changed in remarkable ways over the past fifteen years. Children born in the twenty-first century are growing up with technology, so it’s important to examine why and how they are using what they use. Use this informational booklet to answer some of the questions families may have when it comes to using technology in your educational setting and at home. This booklet, a family companion to the book Teaching in the Digital Age: Smart Tools for Age 3 to Grade 3, provides parents with information about some of the technologies that children might use in the classroom and how they support learning experiences. It also includes ideas parents can use to support their children and the overall technology program, identifiers to look for to recognize if technology is helping children learn, tips to create a technology-use plan, and suggested websites and applications. Sold in packs of 25, these booklets are a great way for classroom teachers to partner with families to better support children.
