The LiFT team have contributed to an article in Nursery World about using apps designed for young children and families.
You can find the full article below, or on the Nursery World website. The article, written by Fiona Joines, discusses ideas for choosing and using apps with young children for early years and childcare professionals.
This includes reflection questions to ask when finding new apps, information to look for in app stores or other sources, and features of the app design to look for to support learning and play. It also discusses how joint play with apps between adults and children can be beneficial and some ideas for how to do this.
The article builds on some of our research on children’s use of creative apps. Find out more on our Creativity Theme page.
