I am becoming increasingly frustrated by the minute as I search online for information and resources about "Technology and the ECE Pedagogy." I want to know what the current and new trends in ECE are as it relates to pedagogy? After reading David Thornburg's Technology as an Agent of Change in Teacher Practice, I fell the need to validate that my field of early childhood education is on track with the rest of the technology renaissance in global education. So far, the results have been a little disappointing. Everything that I have read refers to new ways that we can "amplify our current practices" when using computers in the classroom or innovative ways to use a digital camera and is centered on information and communication technology (ICT).
So much of the conversations regarding technology in education circulates around its intergration into the early childhood classroom, and not much about rethinking our pedagogical practices instead of our curriculum content. Yes, I get that there are ways to enhance a learning experience with the use of technology, but I long to move beyond that understanding.
