Early Childhood Resources

Technology Integration & Early Childhood Education

How can technology use benefit the early childhood education field? The following handouts (shared during workshop presentations), tipsheet, articles and links to resources (including wikis) explore this topic. Organizations and individuals interested in sharing these resources are welcome to link to this Tech Integration and Early Childhood Education (ECE) page.

Handouts were created with support from the University of Maine Center for Community Inclusion & Disability Studies (CCIDS), in partnership with the University of Southern Maine, Muskie School of Public Service, Maine Roads to Quality, for the Portland Early Literacy Collaborative project, funded through a U.S. Department of Education Early Reading First Grant (Award Number S359B050075). CCIDS support contributed to the development of additional resources listed.

Please complete our Tipsheet User Survey. Thanks! Please take a minute to complete our Technology Integration Handout User Survey. Your feedback helps us with the development of future resources and provides important feedback to our funders.
