Technology can be a powerful learning tool in Pre-K when it is used intentionally and developmentally appropriately. In this session, educators will explore how to integrate technology and classroom applications to enhance play, creativity, language development, and student thinking. Participants will learn practical ways to use tablets, interactive boards, and simple classroom apps to document learning, encourage collaboration, and deepen engagement without replacing hands-on experiences. Teachers will leave with ready-to-use strategies and app ideas that support exploration, communication, and meaningful learning in early childhood classrooms.
