A utilização da internet no processo de desenvolvimento infantil

Abstract

Technological tools are part of modern life, which is why children are typically exposed to some type of electronic device from a young age, such as a cell phone, tablet, computer or video game. Technology in early childhood education makes learning more fun and natural for digitally savvy children, allowing them to seek knowledge, ask questions, research, think critically, and find new ways to express themselves. This way, research becomes more interesting and active. The theme of this article is the use of the internet in the child development process and is motivated by the need to understand the relationship between childhood and established skills. Technology in early childhood education is the best way to provide children with diverse stimuli to promote their full development. By using technology in early childhood education, it is possible to transform the school environment into a more dynamic place, where students can actively interact with knowledge, just as they do in their daily lives outside of school. Therefore, the general objective of this article is to highlight the importance and need to integrate and align technological bases with education as a way to help students develop social and emotional skills, encouraging them to co-construct knowledge. In this same segment, the content in question addresses some important meanings that were created and added to the “young dictionary” over the centuries.
