<u></u><u></u></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We can hardly imagine education institutions today without any presence of ICT. More and more children encounter modern communication technology such as computers, smartphones or tablets before
they go to school, even before they go to preschool. Naturally, they are exposed to both positive and negative impacts of digital technologies. This newsletter edition with the theme “ICT and Early Childhood Care and Education“ will take a closer look on usage
of ICT in early years and its potential for a more comprehensive development of children before they go to school.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Our two highlighted articles examine the benefits and risks of ICT use in early childhood, one article by Mami Umayahara, written from her perspective as Programme Specialist for Early Childhood
Care and Education, and the other by Polyxeni Evangelopoulou written from her experience as pre-school educator and researcher.In its analytical survey “Recognizing the potential of ICT in early childhood education” UNESCO IITE suggests strategies for the
development of ICT capability of early childhood education centres and gives recommendations for educators, parents and policy makers, based on extensive literature review and analysis of theoretical educational approaches.The long-term European research project
“Developmentally appropriate technology for early childhood (DATEC)” culminated in a framework that identifies nine general criteria for determining the appropriateness of the ICT applications and tools to be applied in early childhood education.Further useful
resources featured in this newsletter include a guiding document published for those working in early childhood education programmes on both the opportunities and the challenges of the use of technology and interactive media; and the Lancashire Schools' Early
Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) ICT skills progression, which provide planning grids for educators on how ICT can be integrated in early years education. Lastly, a more critical stance towards ICT in early childhood education is taken in an article published
by the New York Times, which introduces several neurological studies that showed negative development effects on children if they are not exposed enough to handwriting in their early years.

ICT can support different aspects of learning and development processes of young children, including language, creativity and problem-solving skills. Children can also play and learn together using ICT, which can foster their ability to communicate and collaborate.
Moreover, ICT facilitate more personalized learning and thus can diversify and increase learning opportunities for every child, including children with special educational needs.

This article stresses that an attentive, thorough and knowledgeable integration of ICT across curriculum is the best answer to most concerns on using ICT in early year education. The question is not anymore whether young children should use ICT or not, but
rather how educators and parents should use ICT effectively in order to enhance children’s learning and development avoiding potential risks<u></u><u></u></span></p>

based on the work of <a href="http://www.unescobkk.org/education/ict/online-resources/databases/ict-in-education-database/item/article/experts-meeting-for-fostering-digital-citizenship-through-safe-and-responsible-use-of-ict/" title="Opens external link in new window" target="_blank">
<b><span style="color:black;text-decoration:none">Experts’ Meeting for “Fostering Digital Citizenship through Safe and Responsible Use of ICT”</span></b></a> on March 6-7, 2014 at Nanyang Technological University. Facing the risks and opportunities coexisting
in the usage of ICT, education and research for proper usage are of a great necessity. It is welcomed that researchers have begun to emphasize digital citizenship education. However, this new type of education has not been put into most governments’ schedule
agencies, especially in less developed countries. In addition, initiatives of collaboration among government, school, family, researcher and children are proactive. More work needs to be done in incorporating digital citizenship education into school’s curriculum.
Yes, this is a real important action to prepare our children to be good digital citizens for a better future.
