Digital tools can be used to engage in two-way communication with learners and families both within and beyond the learning environment.

Capture and document learning experiences as they are happening. Use digital tools to support reflection, connection making, and communication.

Support creativity as children use media and digital tools to express themselves and their ideas, and demonstrate their knowledge.

Use media to investigate and research a topic, concept, or idea more deeply.

Use characters in media to model behaviors, skills, and approaches to learning. This modeling can then help scaffold discussion and practice of those same habits in real-world activities.

Use media early on in an experience to spark children's interest, conversation, and questions on a given topic.
