iPad Apps and Early Literacy Development
Mon, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 143 ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
iPad apps are increasingly becoming part of young children’s literacy ecology, but little research has focused on how they contribute to early literacy development. To address this gap in the literature, this symposium presents research on how iPad apps are being used to support early literacy. Findings provide much needed understanding about how iPads can be used effectively, including ways to improve design of apps, interactions with digital texts, and their use by teachers.
