As you all may know digital technology is the main the focus in this research blog. Many of us educators may have asked ourselves if digital technology has changed the learning environment in childcare, if so, are those changes good or bad, and what can be done to create a better and effective environment for our students. Digital technology is a topic of interest for many teachers and early childhood educators because it affects the curriculum and the learning environment in various ways. The learning environment for a child is very important, keeping them up to date with what’s around them and what’s around us can be a difficult task. Technology has become one of the main priorities in our newer and upcoming generation, and with this being said there is no way in which us educators can avoid this or even try to take this away from our students. Educators are learning new ways into integrating this huge change in the classrooms, finding ways in which technology and our students’ education can gather together is and will always be a task that we will continue to learn. Being able to create a diverse way of learning can generate positive outcomes for our students.
