iPads, mobile phones, tablets, and many other digital devices feature in the lives of children from the moment they are born-but what is the place of these technologies in children's early years and learning experiences? In the age of the 'Techno-Tot' this edited collection focuses on exploring the potential of what children can do with technologies, rather than what technologies can do for children. With chapters written by a range of international authors, this book: Offers an evidence-based discussion of children's experiences with technologies in early years education Broadens our understanding of technologies in early years, beyond the typical focus on screen-based media Details the child's "story" with technology Offers a range of case studies from the UK, USA, Australia, and Europe
