Description

"Screening" digital active learning for young children. Young children spend more time than recommended on sedentary screen time. This project aims to discover how high quality digital activity can support children’s learning and development. The project will generate new knowledge by creating a conceptual framework that integrates digital learning, training of self-control and movement. Expected outcomes include a robust screen time quality assessment tool for parents and educators and an exemplar program. Application of the outcomes will improve digital learning, self-control and physical skills of young children. Parents and practitioners will be able to choose online resources that best support children’s development. The outcomes will also guide the design of better technology for children..
