ASIN: 0415953197 |
Book Description
New technologies are dramatically changing early childhood education in the 21st century, as well as the of face childhood itself. Access to new technologies - in the western world at least-provide young children with a myriad of possible activities and explorations that were not possible even a few years ago. But how can we explain and understand the nature of these differences and explore their implication for education? And how are the broader personal and social experiences of young children affected by these new classroom technologies? Focusing on the range of technologies that are available to children and exploring what they think of them and how they use them, childhood expert Nicola Yelland considers research that illustrates the was in which learning and engagement with ideas is made possible by creative interaction and uses of information and communications technologies (ICT) and the ways in which these technologies have opened up the world so that young people are able to extend the boundaries oftheir social interaction.

Future Vision, Present Work: Learning from the Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias Leadership Project
Sharon Cronin , Louise Derman-Sparks , Sharon Henry , Cirecie Olatunji , and Stacey York Manufacturer: Redleaf Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1884834590 |
Book Description
For the last forty years, studies and publications have demonstrated the growing evidence of the effect of racism, classism, sexism, and other oppressions on young childrens learning processes and their development of strong self- and cultural identities. But how can a childcare program use an anti-bias approach today, when many of the issues involved are so complex? What happens when there is resistance to change and moving toward more equitable programs for children and families?Future Vision, Present Work: Learning from the Culturally Relevant Anti-Bias Leadership Project answers these questions and more. Through a grant from the Kellogg Foundation, the Anti-Bias Leadership Project was based on leadership groups that performed cross-cultural advocacy work in Seattle, New Orleans, and Minneapolis/Saint Paul over three years. Representing some of the most important voices addressing diversity issues in early childcare, the authors share the principles, purposes, and strategies of each group they led, as well as the wisdom they gained from their own perspectives during the project. The result is a powerful model for fostering unity in diversity, and an important resource for addressing anti-bias and cultural relevancy issues for todays early childhood programs.
