The main focus of Prekindergarten technology applications are to introduce the children to technology including computers, voice/sound recorders,televisions, digital cameras, personal digital assistants, and MP3 devices or iPODs. While children are surrounded by technology,they can benefit from becoming aware of and interacting with voice/sound recorders and other technology that may be available. They develop techniques for handling and controlling various devices, becoming increasingly confident and independent users of age‐appropriate technologies.
In a scaffolding curriculum, there is one concept introduced at varying degrees of difficulty. If the objective is to use software applications to express their own ideas, the children could be allowed to submit a final project that is audio, video, word processor document, photograph or computer generated art, or any other such means, depending on how adept the child is in each medium.
