The one-day event, entitled ‘Early literacy and digital technologies: friend or foe?’, is aimed at educators, researchers, advisers and policy makers, and will provide delegates with an opportunity to learn about and discuss the fundamental impact of technologies on children and their future.
Discussions will focus on whether apps and e-books are interactive or distractive, whether children are learning from these types of technology or simply having fun, and whether new skills are truly being fostered through technology use in the early years.
The course will also include two interactive sessions for discussions and networking.
The conference is organised by the Oxford Education Society (OES), part of the Department of Education at the University of Oxford.
