Research on Technology and Preschool

  1. Early Connections, Technology in Early Childhood Education
    “This Web site was developed and maintained by the Northwest Educational Technology Consortium. The federal funding for the regional technology consortia program ended on September 30, 2005, and no further updates are planned unless additional funding becomes available. However, much of the content is still useful and NWREL will continue to provide access to this site to support educators and to meet its own technical assistance needs.” There is an article on “research review of literature about the appropriate use of computers and technology with young children” and a section on preschool and classroom environments and learning.

  2. National Association for the Education of Young Children
    The Web site contains the NAEYC Position Statement Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth through Age 8.

  3. The Division for Early Childhood, Council for Exceptional Children (DEC/CEC)
    Offers for purchase the “DEC Recommended Practices: A Comprehensive Guide for Practical Application in Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education” by Sandall, Hemmeter, Smith, & McClean, (2005). There is a section devoted to technology that reviews best practices in the field.
