Children and adults alike are fascinated by technology. There are many that seem almost addicted to it. When planning for young children, one must make sure to balance the use of technology with other portions of the curriculum.

Please pick at least 2 of the following questions to discuss:

• How can educators ensure a balance between technology and traditional forms of play and learning in the early childhood classroom?
• What checks and balances can be put into place to make sure that children are not spending "too much time" engaging only in technology?
• Should classrooms have policies to limit the amount of time children spend on technology?
• Should technology be viewed as other parts of the curriculum?
• Or should it be monitored differently? What are best practices you have put into place to balance technology and other portions of the curriculum?
