Description
Book Synopsis"I think a real strength of the book is the use of the case studies to ground the points made and to offer in-depth insights into practice."Jackie Marsh, University of Sheffield, UK
This exciting book considers the nature of young children's lives and how this can, and should, inform early childhood education in practical ways. It examines:
- What is it like for young children to learn in the 21st century?
- How can we link this to new and innovative ways of providing relevant and engaging learning contexts for young children?
- What it means to be multiliterate in the 21st century
The book explores how learning and engagement with ideas can be extended through the use of new technologies, describing how information and communications technologies enable young people to extend the boundaries of their learning and social interactions.
These experiences have important implications for formal learning environments and the nature of the curriculum, incl
