Watch the video below regarding the influence of the iPad (Links to an external site.) on infants and toddlers before participating in this discussion.

Using interactive media to help educate and entertain children is becoming increasingly common. According to Getzler (2013), “38% of toddlers and infants under two are now using a mobile device…and this age group spends more than twice as much time watching television and DVDs (55 minutes) as it does reading or being read to (19 minutes)” (p. 1). Based on these findings, the questions that many parents and educators may have are: how much time should an infant/toddler actually spend engaged with technology, is it harmful, and what are developmentally appropriate games and/or applications (app) for infants and toddlers? For this discussion, please review this article (Links to an external site.) and respond to the following prompts:

1. State and support your personal views on infants and toddlers using interactive media and evaluate how interactive media could either enhance or inhibit social and emotional development.
2. Locate and summarize a developmentally appropriate game or app that focuses on social and emotional issues that you could use in and out of an educational setting. Please post the link and/or name of the game or app so that your fellow students can view it.
3. Select one NAEYC and Fred Rogers Center recommendation from the article Technology and interactive media in early childhood programs: What we’ve learned from five years of research, policy and practice (Links to an external site.), and discuss how you would implement it into your work as an ECEC provider.
