Hi Mr. Bryan

Thank you for sharing these useful recommendations for screen time management apps. These apps will definitely help in managing the amount of time children spend on digital didactic games.

I also appreciate you sharing your experience with using visual clocks and schedules for students with autism. It's a great strategy to help children better understand and manage their activities. Finding a balance between using technology and developing other important skills is crucial, as you mentioned.

Could you perhaps share some specific examples of how you implement visual schedules in your work? Additionally, what are your favorite digital didactic tools that you use with the children?

Thank you again for your valuable contribution to this discussion.

Best regards,

Hello everyone,

My name is Marija, and I am from Serbia. I am a master preschool teacher and a doctoral student at the Faculty of Educational Sciences. I am particularly interested in digital technologies and early digital literacy for children.
I work with children aged 3 to 7 years old. My favorite part of the job is creating digital didactic games and implementing them in my daily work with the children.
Additionally, I am the author of a seminar that aims to enhance the digital competencies of preschool and primary school teachers. This seminar trains educators to independently create and use digital didactic games in their teaching practice.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring new educational technologies, reading, and spending time outdoors.

Looking forward to engaging with all of you!

Best regards,

Hello everyone,

By integrating innovative pedagogies and assistive technologies such as magnifiers, braille displays, talking devices, screen reading software, and tablets with large tactile b**tons, we can create a supportive learning environment. These tools help cater to the diverse needs of students, promoting equality and access to education.

Hello everyone,

As a preschool educator, I am excited to start a discussion on the use of digital didactic games in early childhood education. The integration of these games into our curriculum offers a unique opportunity to enhance learning experiences and engage young learners in new and exciting ways.

Why Digital Didactic Games?

Digital didactic games combine educational content with interactive and playful elements, making learning fun and engaging for children. These games can help develop various skills, including:

Cognitive Skills: Problem-solving, memory, and critical thinking.
Motor Skills: Hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills through interactive activities.
Social Skills: Cooperation and communication through multiplayer or group-based games.

My Experience:

In my classroom, I have noticed that digital games capture the children’s attention and keep them engaged for longer periods compared to traditional methods. For example, using a simple counting game on a tablet has significantly improved the numerical skills of my students. They are more motivated to learn and enjoy the process of discovering new concepts through play.

Challenges and Considerations

While the benefits are clear, there are challenges to consider:

Screen Time: Managing the amount of screen time to ensure it is beneficial and not excessive.
Content Appropriateness: Ensuring the games are age-appropriate and aligned with educational goals.
Teacher Training: Providing adequate training for educators to effectively integrate these games into their teaching strategies.

Discussion Points

I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. Here are a few questions to get the discussion started:

Have you used digital didactic games in your classroom? If so, what has been your experience?
What specific games or applications do you recommend for preschool-aged children?
How do you balance screen time with other educational activities?
What strategies do you use to ensure that the digital content is appropriate and effective for your students?

Please share your insights, experiences, and any resources that have been particularly useful. Let’s work together to explore the potential of digital didactic games in preschool education and how we can best utilize them to enhance our teaching practices.

Looking forward to your contributions!

Hello everyone,

As a preschool educator in Serbia, I am thrilled to see the Ministry of Education taking steps towards integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into our schools. Serbia has established a National AI Platform and is actively working on strengthening digital literacy and skills among both students and teachers. Through various initiatives, including conferences where experts discuss the responsible application of AI in education and the implementation of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) programs, our educational system is becoming more dynamic and future-ready. AI-driven platforms can help identify students' strengths and weaknesses, enabling tailored instruction that meets individual needs. It is essential, however, that we provide adequate training for teachers to use these technologies effectively and ensure that the content remains age-appropriate.

Hello everyone,

As a preschool educator, I have discovered the potential of ChatGPT as a tool to enhance our educational practices. This advanced AI language model can generate imaginative stories, introduce new vocabulary, suggest educational games, answer children's questions, and engage in discussions about emotions and social skills. Additionally, ChatGPT can provide valuable support for educators and parents by offering advice on child development and classroom management. By using ChatGPT responsibly and under adult supervision, we can create engaging, enjoyable, and educational experiences for our youngest learners. I am excited to continue exploring its possibilities and look forward to hearing about your experiences and ideas.
