Young children’s everyday lives are increasingly permeated by an array of digital tools that are rapidly changing the forms in which they make meaning. Yet the use of digital media in early childhood education is much disputed, with debates often polarised between strongly negative rejections and unquestioning positive endorsements. Alternative perspectives are necessary in order to recognise the significance of digital media in young children’s lives and to develop respectful pedagogies which support meaning making in multiple forms. This article highlights practice with digital tools in three Stockholm preschools influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education. The settings used the Reggio Emilia concept of ‘the hundred languages of children’ as a foundation for their use of digital media, resulting in an approach which embraced and embedded digital tools in everyday practice alongside other materials. The insights from the preschools demonstrate ways in which Sweden is fostering an early childhood pedagogy that critically evaluates the affordances of digital tools whilst considering their limitations and relationships with other materials. In this way, a multimodal approach to young children’s digital meaning making is being developed, prompting consideration of the possibilities for similar approaches to digital literacy beyond Sweden and beyond early childhood education.
