• 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.
• Limitations on the use of technology and media are important.
• Special considerations must be given to the use of technology with
infants and toddlers.
• Attention to digital citizenship and equitable access is essential.
• Ongoing research and professional development are needed.

which these technologies are used as tools for learning
(Means & Olson, 1995; Owston, 1997; Valdez et al., 1999).
