Digital Literacies in the Early Childhood and Childhood Grades

This course prepares students to develop and teach digital and computational literacies in early childhood and childhood grades. Computational literacies encompass computational thinking practices and skillful utilization of digital tools to support children’s learning. Students are prepared to create equitable and inclusive learning environments that support all children to develop computational literacies. Students consider computational literacies and their role in children's lives by exploring the knowledge, skills, and attitudes children require to become creators and users of digital tools. Topics focus on uses of computational literacies to support children’s learning across the curriculum, the role of computational literacies in society, and applications of computational literacies and digital tools to expand possibilities for learning through research, creation, communication, collaboration, and the sharing of work with others.
