Growing Up with Technology explores the role of technology in the everyday lives of three- and four-year-old children, presenting the implications for the children s continuing learning and development.

Children are growing up in a world where the internet, mobile phones and other forms of digital interaction are features of daily life. The authors have carefully observed children s experiences at home and analysed the perspectives of parents, practitioners and the children themselves. This has enabled them to provide a nuanced account of the different ways in which technology can support or inhibit learning.

Drawing on evidence from their research, the authors bring a fresh approach to these debates, based on establishing relationships with children, families and educators to get insights into practices, values and attitudes.

A number of key questions are considered, including:

  • Which technologies do young children encounter at home and preschool?
  • What kind of learning takes place in these encounters?
  • How can parents and practitioners support this learning?
  • Are some children disadvantaged when it comes to learning with technology?

Growing Up with Technology is strongly grounded in a series of research projects, providing new ways of thinking about how children s learning with technology can be supported. It will be of great interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students on a range of courses including childhood studies, and those with a particular interest in the use of technology in education. Parents, practitioners and researchers will also find this a fascinating and informative read.
