“Digital tools are needed – for our children’s best”
“Reply from Susanne Kjällander about e-readers in kindergarten”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“REPLICA. On Aftonbladet’s Debate mean a number of psychologists that young children do not need more skärmtid and that it is doubtful whether the digitisation has something to contribute to the preschool, then it poses risks and entails costs. “
“instead, the money should be put on the staff, they say. I agree with the article in the thing, but not the conclusion. My opinion is instead that it is necessary to deal with this already in kindergarten.”
“I have done research on learning with digital tools in the kindergarten for many years at Stockholm University and at Stanford University. “
“I have a lot of confidence to a teacher with the right tools and the right training can teach with digital and analog materials in a good way and this positive rub off on the children’s digital activities at home. “
“the Children are exposed to digital tools in their everyday lives, and there is no indication that it will change. Therefore, the pre-school an important role in teaching children to manage digital tools in thoughtful and controlled ways. “
“It is important that the many millions spent on digitisation in the pre-school is managed in the right way so that this will be an investment for the children and for Sweden, not a cost.”
“We don’t know much about how the digitization affects children’s brains and bodies, and I agree that caution is preferred. Digital tools should be used where they add value. “
“Research should be used to create the second generation of innovative study materials for the pre-school’s activities, for it is true that many apps are bad. The pre-school need, therefore, to invite children in a digital environment of high quality. “
“New research shows that the use of digital tools in the school facilitates learning for children, especially for children with funktionsvariationer. The research also shows that digitization reduces the gap between children, and that digital exclusion is prevented. “
“Those who have the most to gain are, thus, children from economically deprived areas, children with migration background and others who fall outside the norm.”
“Digitisation is a global phenomenon with advantages and disadvantages. The challenge is in how we handle these advantages and disadvantages. The solution is not to ban digital tools in the kindergarten. “
“That society would fail to prepare children already in kindergarten by teaching them a good, creative, safe and ethical way to engage in the digital environment would be to abandon them.”
