Technology in the early childhood classroom shouldn't mean passive screen time. It should spark active wonder, foundational learning and student creation. In this session, explore how to weave teacher-modeled, supervised creative tech and AI into the natural flow of your daily routines. See practical ways to level up listening stations, add interactive drawing to phonics centers and turn whole-group coloring pages into student-led masterpieces. Learn how to safely use accessible platforms like Adobe Express and Aqua to enhance core milestones such as phonics, shape recognition, colors and vocabulary, and how to move students smoothly from whole-group modeling to small groups and individual creation. Whether you are tech-curious or seeking fresh inspiration, you will leave with an approachable, scaffolded roadmap you can use the very next day, plus ideas for showcasing multi-dimensional student projects that will wow families at Open House.
