The vast majority of children today are growing up hearing, seeing and interacting with digital media and communications technologies of all kinds. This brings a profusion of new challenges and opportunities to early education through age eight. What are researchers, educators and parents discovering at the intersection of digital media and early learning? How do their discoveries stack up against current policies to support quality interactions at home and in classrooms?
New America hosted an afternoon of moderated discussion, innovative exhibits and networking that explore a world beyond “screen time,” recognizing technology as more than an electronic babysitter and pushing for high standards in how it is used.
This event was made possible by a grant from the Grable Foundation.
