The Dialogue Between Children and Digital Technologies – from the Experience of Reggio Emilia Preschools
Abstract
In the context of different opinions about the use of digital technologies in preschools, this paper presents a techno-enthusiastic approach to the subject. It discusses the possibilities of incorporating digital media into preschool daily life. The paper provides the overview of Reggio Emilia (Italy) practice with digital technology, which is aimed mainly at supporting the children’s learning process. The theoretical part is illustrated with visual documentation of the experience with digital media inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.
