The Early Bird Gets to Learn with the INFOhio Early Learning Portal - This INFOhio blog post outlines reasons why using technology with young children is important and the benefits of joint media engagment to the development of early learners.
Tap, Click, Read: Growing Readers in a World of Screens
Authors Lisa Guernsey (New America) and Michael H. Levine (Joan Ganz Center/Sesame Workshop) lay the necessary foundations of helping emerging readers connect and comprehend with text and other media found on screens. Tap, Click, Read is revolutionary in its approach to using technology with early learners, encouraging joint media engagement, a phrase that describes what happens when adults are present, talk to, and interact with children while they use devices and read eBooks or apps. Using research, the authors pave the way for establishing a Readialand for early learners. This is a place where children have access to quality media including digital or print text and audio or visual components, which they can use with support to learn and grow. Using the three C's—Content, Context, and your Child—this team are pioneers in this field who forged ahead using research and logic to help humans tame technology.
