Use of digital tools by preschool children: Preliminary results

Abstract

Nowadays, preschool children are growing up at ease with technology and become familiar with the use of digital devices such iPads, tablets, computers and mobile phones very early in their lives. Therefore, children are expected to develop different literacy skills [1]. The aim of the study is to explore the use of digital tools by preschool children. The results of the study contribute to a better understanding of how children cope with visual and textual searching, provide useful feedback on how to encourage children to become lifelong learners and further our understanding of age differences in children and adult learning along with the impact of ICTs on children’s learning.
