ECE Tech Survey
- 1. Technology Planning & Support: Using Data Effectively to Plan Classroom Implementation and Professional Development May, 2013 1 Lilla Dale McManis, Ph.D. Karen Nemeth, Ed.M. Fran Simon, M.Ed. NHSA Annual Conference 2013
- 2. About US Lilla Dale McManis Hatch Early Learning Karen Nemeth Language Castle, LLC Fran Simon Engagement Strategies, LLC Early Childhood Technology Collaborative
- 3. Learning Objectives You will: • understand the types and uses of educational technology that may be considered for your program • learn about national survey data and resources that can inform your technology decisions • learn how to collect internal data for more effective technology planning and professional development • learn and practice new strategies to evaluate technology professional development options for inclusion in your Head Start E-Rate Technology Plans as recommended in the Reference Guide under item 4, Core Element II – Professional Development
- 4. Our Study 4 On Tech Use in ECE Overview
- 5. Rationale for Early Childhood Technology Collaborative Study • Lack of research about ECE tech • Differentiate home use and classroom use • Sort out conclusions about passive tech use vs. interactive technologies • Need to hear directly from EC educators
- 6. Who Responded? •485 in the U.S. •116 Administrators •369 Teachers
- 7. About the Respondents Community Type Poverty Children Served
- 8. About the Respondents Program Type Ages Children Served
- 9. Why ECE Educators Use Technology
- 10. Primary Reasons
- 11. How Tech Tools Are Used
- 12. Why don’t some programs use tech?

- 22. The Results • Used regularly but not excessively • Used because children enjoy it & it helps meet goals of program • More a support than for direct instruction • What’s used follows availability • Differences between beliefs and practices for amount of time
- 23. What Activities?
- 24. Frequency by Content Language/Literacy Mathematics
- 25. Frequency by Content Science Social Studies
- 26. Frequency by Content Art Music
- 28. Logic/Problem Solving Approaches to Learning Frequency by Domain
- 29. Teacher’s Role
- 30. Who is Guiding Activities
- 31. Who is Guiding Devices
- 32. Who is Guiding Devices
- 33. Who is Guiding Devices
- 34. • Used more for traditional content areas • Rarely used to support social-emotional goals • Educators “drive” some kinds of tech more than others • Also allow child-initiated • Balance: teacher-guided and child-initiated The Results
- 35. How are Goals Monitored?
- 37. For Children Needing Extra Support?
- 38. DLL/ELL Learners
- 39. Tech with DLL/ELL Learners Chosen specifically to meet needs of ELL children In every language spoken in your group now
- 41. Special Needs Learners Devices used with children who have special needs
- 44. Best support received for using technology
- 45. Comfort Level Using w/ Children 1 = not at all, 5 = completely Desk/laptops IWBs
- 46. Comfort Level Using w/ Children 1 = not at all, 5 = completely Tablets Multi-touch Tables
- 47. • Technology is being used to monitor progress • Seems available but low implementation for DLL/ELL children and special needs children • Many different kinds of PD available and most have received • More comfortable with more established tech The Results
- 50. Put your plan into action! –Needs Assessment w/key players • Roll the results into a professional development plan • Roll the results into a phased Technology Action Plan –Measure results & revise accordingly –Revisit the plan regularly –Be open to change as change occurs
- 51. Copyright, Simon and Donohue Technology implementation requires buy-in and support from the program “ecosystem” Director Board Families Funders Support Staff Community Partners Vendors Main Office I/T Teachers Tech Lead
- 52. Look for Internal Data! • Sources – Observation of use – Dialogue and conversation – Feedback forms – Organization records • Think about – What do teachers/children ask for? Get excited about? – What do teachers/children never use? Avoid? – What do they rush to “show” others? – What do they “grumble” about?
- 53. Professional Development Teachers need: – Hands-on playtime – Relevant reasons to use technology – Technology role models, coaches, peer mentors – Ongoing formal PD opportunities – Professional learning networks – Reliable resources: books, websites, blogs,
