5. NAEYC/Fred Rogers
• When used intentionally and appropriately, technology and
interactive media are effective tools to support learning and
development
• Intentional use requires early childhood teachers and administrators
to have information and resources regarding the nature of these
tools and the implications of their use with children
6. MGOL Technology
Use Statement
• Technology handled with careful
consideration, in moderation, in ways that fit in
with the program's intent and don't
overwhelm, that enhance but don't replace,
and that encourage parent/child interaction
are appropriate for use in Mother Goose on
the Loose programs.
9. Joint Media
Engagement
• The New Co-viewing (Joan Ganz Cooney
Center)
• Bringing families together around new forms of
media
• New media can serve as a focal point for
interaction, not the end goal
10. Parent Learning
• Support parents to be their child's first and
best teacher
• To do that they have to learn some skills and
gain some tools
• The use of digital media can support THEIR
learning process
11. Avoiding App Mania
• Just because you're going to model intelligent
use of new media does NOT mean everything
you do has to be app-based
• Present stories, songs & rhymes in lots of
different ways; use new media in a way that
supports engagement and does not distract
15. Information Capital
• Model for very young
children how to find accurate
information, and associate
the use of technology with
learning something new
