Seven Myths about Young Children and Technology
Plowman, Lydia; McPake, Joanna
Childhood Education, v89 n1 p27-33 2013
Parents and educators tend to have many questions about young children's play with computers and other technologies at home. They can find it difficult to know what is best for children because these toys and products were not around when they were young. Some will say that children have an affinity for technology that will be valuable in their future lives. Others think that children should not be playing with technology when they could be playing outside or reading a book. This article presents 7 myths about young children and technology.
