Integrating Technology Into Exemplary Preschool: A Report on the Apple and ConnectED Initiative Settings

This report presents findings from a yearlong investigation of the Apple and ConnectED initiative in 10 preschool classrooms. The goal of this work was to document and describe technology integration in the context of well-supported, child-centered early learning settings. By working with a small set of exemplary preschool programs, we present a portrait of what is possible when technology integration is paired with what we know to be important conditions for success: strong leadership, robust technological infrastructure, child-centric orientation to instruction, and sustained professional support.
