Using tablet computers with toddlers and young preschoolers

Description:
To investigate the use of tablets among very young children and whether they can promote children's creativity, communication, and collaboration, I enlisted the help of teachers Kellie and Shelly at a university child development center and Susan and Kathy in a local Head Start toddler classroom. There were approximately 10 children in each classroom, ranging from 2 to 4 years of age. Some of the children had computers at home, but many did not. (author abstract)
