About the Book

Technology is everywhere. When used intentionally, it can be a powerful tool for connection, collaboration, and inclusion in early childhood classrooms. Connected Classrooms shows educators how to use digital tools in developmentally appropriate ways that enhance--not replace--human relationships.

Written by a trusted expert in early childhood technology integration, this book shows how to utilize technology to support healthy social-emotional development. You'll discover how tools such as tablets, cameras, apps, and interactive books can help children develop skills in communication, problem-solving, creativity, and empathy--while helping them build meaningful relationships with peers.

Grounded in guidelines for developmentally appropriate and classroom-tested practices, this practical guide gives educators real-world strategies for integrating technology thoughtfully and purposefully.

Inside, you'll discover how to:

  • use technology to strengthen collaboration and communication.
  • support social-emotional learning through digital tools.
  • promote inclusion for dual language learners and children with disabilities.
  • design developmentally appropriate tech-integrated activities.
  • foster creativity, critical thinking, and peer connection.

Blending research with hands-on application, author Brian Puerling bridges the gap between why technology matters and how to use it effectively. Whether you're new to digital learning or refining your approach, this book provides practical guidance you can implement immediately.
