Early literacy and digital technologies: friend or foe?

Department of Education, 15 Norham Gardens, Oxford OX2 6PY

Oxford Education Society

This day conference invites educators, researchers, advisers and policy makers to learn about and discuss the impact of technologies on children and their future. Early years, early literacy and technology experts will discuss issues of topical importance to early years educators, including whether apps and e-books are interactive or distractive, whether children are learning or just having fun, and whether or not we are fostering new 21st century skills. The day will also include two interactive sessions with opportunities to discuss and network, and lunch and refreshments throughout the day.

Cost: £50

A limited number of student bursaries to the value of £25 each are also available
