What counts as “technology” in Early Years and how do we choose resources that genuinely enhance learning through play? This fast-paced workshop will showcase a range of EdTech and “tech toy” examples (digital and non-digital) that support STEAM learning in a developmentally appropriate way. Richard will share practical ideas for implementation, what to look for when selecting resources, and how to avoid making technology an end in itself, thus keeping learning purposeful, playful and inclusive. Technology for demonstration: TTS "Oti-Bot", Advance Built In AI, Controlled and Operated by a tablet; Oxford Educational Robotics "Cubetto" Early Years Coding; and Mantra Lingua "Language Pen and Bilingual Books and Key Phrases Poster".
