Description
Early childhood education is an educational stage that lays the foundations for future learning, habits of behaviour and coexistence are acquired, as well as a great intellectual growth on the part of the students, acquiring a great learning capacity. Therefore, it is a fundamental educational stage in the development of children. At present, children assume with total normality the presence of technologies in society. They live with them and adopt them without difficulty for their daily use. In this way, the integration of new technologies in classrooms is necessary, so that, from the early childhood stage, children obtain skills and habits in the use of new technologies. It is necessary to reflect and train on classroom practices to innovate and improve the teaching task. Learn and apply ICT in the classrooms for the development of the capacities of Early Childhood students, as an instrument that enhances, favours, and develops the teaching-learning process. Likewise, another main focus is the inclusive use of new technologies in the classroom, since these favour the curricular adaptation to the educational needs of students, facilitating their learning and integration in the classroom since all students can work with the same tool, in the same space and collaboratively. The project, Our Time is Now! Digital Education 4AII's main objective is to promote the use of new technologies in early childhood education classrooms, as an inclusive work tool that enables curricular adaptation to the different educational needs of students.
