Technology and Young Children

http://www.techandyoungchildren.org/index.shtml

The Website pulls together articles detailing best educational practices and current research regarding how to most effectively use technology for the benefit of children aged birth through eight years. There is also a technology information exchange and articles about how to fund technology. An "Internet Tips" section discusses Internet tutorials, Internet search engines and Website development. The site provides links to a collection of Web resources recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Also provided is the opportunity to join a discussion group (LISTSERV) devoted to topics relating to children and technology. A terrific resource for parents and educators for exploring the positive and negative impact of technology in children's lives and for learning the "do's" and "don't's" of using technology with children.
