Description:
The review was designed to examine uses of technology among four Topic Areas of interest to ACF/OPRE. The first three Topic Areas focused on early childhood practitioners' use of technology to support 1) instruction and assessment, 2) parent, family and community engagement (PFCE), and 3) professional development and informal learning. The fourth Topic Area outlined barriers to and facilitators of practitioners' effective use of technology to support early childhood practice. NORC employed three methods to complete the review: a web search to obtain a broad sampling of both common and cutting-edge uses of technology; a search of academic databases to establish an evidence-base for the technologies; and interviews with 16 experts who have built, used, or evaluated these technologies.
