Abstract

The research about the importance of social and emotional roles in learning has increased the focus in many early childhood programs on the social-emotional domains of development. The perceptions of the effects computers and other technology tools have on social/emotional development of young children may influence the acceptance and use of technology in these classrooms. This chapter discusses the research related to technology and social-emotional development, parents’ perceptions of what social interactions are important in relation to child-to-child and child-to adult realm, theoretical influences on educational environments, and approaches to intentional use of tools to support these important domains. Technology has changed the socio-cultural environment globally and we, as educators of young children, need to change how we approach social and emotional support for our children.
