My Childhood Media/Tech Experiences
Digital Literacy Access Fun
Educate or Entertain? Work or Play?
Emotions & Learning Attention “Remember: Children do not pay attention when they are bored or frustrated, and they do not learn when they are not paying attention (11). ”
Emotions & Learning Finding Meaning “. . . attuning to our feelings, according to neurological research, helps us find the meaning in data …, Emotions science now tells us, are part of rationality, not opposed to it (42). ”
Emotions & Learning (Print) Motivation and Play • ECRR = Print Motivation as a building block for reading • ECRR 2 = Play as a practice for all learning
Should we promote screen media?
Media is Information How We Consume and Interact with Information Has Changed “Now we can watch a newspaper, listen to a magazine, and see a phone call. ” Chip Donahue, Director of Technology in Early Childhood (TEC) Center http: //www. erikson. edu/about/di rectory/chip-donohue/
Media is Info Creation How We Express Ourselves and Participate in Conversations Has Changed “The NAMLE vision is to help individuals of all ages develop the habits of inquiry and skills of expression that they need to be critical thinkers, effective communicators, and active citizens in today’s world. ” National Association for Media Literacy Education http: //namle. net/
Media Is an Opportunity Working with the Positive Parts of These Changes “Every new technology is an opportunity for learning. ” http: //pbskids. org/lab

Best Practices for Children and Media • Limits, especially for ages 0 – 3 – Less than two hours a day and need for activity (AAP). Adding to the day’s screen time http: //www. alsc. ala. org/blog/2013/06/the-screenfree-story-time-is-the-best-story-time/ • Joint media engagement = relationship/socialbased education (e. g. physical closeness and conversation) • Intentional use 3 C’s = content (quality apps), context (how), and individual child by Guernsey
Quality Apps • Audio/Music – option to turn on/off • Ease of Use – Pop-ups for ads or ad-ons (the push to purchase more content). Can sometimes be eliminated if you buy the “full version” of the app. • Graphics/Visuals • Interactivity – Comparable or better than the real thing
