Technology: A Tool for Knowledge Construction in a Reggio Emilia Inspired Teacher Education Program
Hong, Seong B.; Trepanier-Street, Mary
Early Childhood Education Journal, v32 n2 p87-94 Oct 2004
This article describes the application of technology in Reggio Emilia inspired early childhood and teacher education programs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. We have found that technology used in a Reggio inspired program can be a valuable tool for the representation and organization of ideas, collaboration among a specific learning community, visualization and reflection on thinking, and communication of learning to the broader community. Our experiences and reflections suggest that the integration of technology in a Reggio inspired curriculum supports knowledge construction of both children and student teachers.
