Digital devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers, are
becoming commonplace in young children's lives for play,
entertainment, learning and communication. Recently, there has been
a great deal of focus on the educational potential of these devices
in both formal and informal educational settings. There is now an
abundance of educational 'apps' available to children, parents, and
teachers, which claim to enhance children's early literacy and
numeracy development, but to date, there has been very little
formal investigation of the educational potential of these devices.
This book discusses the impact on children's learning when iPads
were introduced in three very different early years settings in
Brisbane, Australia. It outlines how researchers worked with
pre-school teachers and parents to explore how iPads can assist
with letter and word recognition, the development of oral literacy
and digital literacies and talk around play. Chapters consider the
possibilities for using iPads for creativity and arts education
through photography, storytelling, drawing, music creation and
audio recording, and critically examine the literacies enabled by
educational software available on iPads, and the relationship
between digital play and literacy development. iPads in the Early
Years provides exciting insights into children's digital culture
and learning in the age of the iPad. It will be key reading for
researchers, research students and teacher educators focusing on
the early years, as well as those with an interest in the role of
ICTS, and particularly tablet computers, in education.
