Technology is clearly changing the way children live and learn. What is not clear is how our classrooms will change in the future due to these new technologies. Today there are numerous questions when it comes to infusing technology into the classroom environment, particularly when it involves early childhood education environments. What will our pre-school classrooms look like with new technologies? What, if any, are appropriate new technologies for young children? Will early childhood teachers approach teaching in the same way? Will children learn differently because of these technologies? In this research the PI will explore issues relating to the development, evaluation, and dissemination of new technologies and infusion methods in early childhood education. The goals are: to understand the unique needs of young children (ages 3-6) in learning environments; to develop new technologies in partnership with children and teachers; To develop new strategies for teaching in a technology-infused early childhood education environment; to understand the impact these technologies can have on young children and their early childhood educators; and to understand when technology is an appropriate catalyst for early childhood education. The research will be an important demonstration of new approaches in interfaces, technologies, and design practices for and with children, and will further offer new educational tools that can have a broad impact on how we educate our children in our classrooms of the future.

技术正在改变孩子们生活和学习的方式。 目前尚不清楚的是，由于这些新技术，我们的教室在未来会发生什么变化。 今天，当谈到将技术注入课堂环境时，特别是当它涉及幼儿教育环境时，存在许多问题。 我们的学前班教室会是什么样子的新技术？ 哪些新技术适合幼儿使用？ 幼儿教师也会以同样的方式进行教学吗？孩子们会因为这些技术而学习不同吗？ 在这项研究中，PI将探索与幼儿教育新技术和灌输方法的开发、评估和传播相关的问题。 目标是：了解幼儿（3-6岁）在学习环境中的独特需求;与儿童和教师合作开发新技术;在技术融入的幼儿教育环境中制定新的教学战略;了解这些技术对幼儿及其幼儿教育工作者的影响; 并了解技术何时是幼儿教育的适当催化剂。 这项研究将是一个重要的展示新的方法在接口，技术和设计实践，并与儿童，并将进一步提供新的教育工具，可以有一个广泛的影响，我们如何教育我们的孩子在我们的未来教室。
