Educational technologies offer a rich number of screen-based and non-screen-based tools to develop computational, logical, and critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. At the same time, we are unaware of all the potential consequences of early use of digital technologies, so we should be cautious, supportive, and offer guidance. One thing is sure \u2013 digital competence is not inherent to the younger generation born in the digital era. It seems to us that they have inborn intuition to understand the technology better, which is not supported by any research. Like adults, they have learned to control, manipulate, and cope with technology as well as its ups and downs. This is the adults\u2019 task to help them learn to become competent, educated, successful personalities. The best thing is probably to start early and consciously in kindergarten with special supportive tools and qualified teachers. Still, this task is not as easy as it sounds and demands commitment from the state, kindergarten administration, teachers, and even parents of preschool children.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>In Module 2, we invite you to:<br>\u2013 reflect on your own experiences related to using digital technologies for learning and teaching.<br>\u2013 become more aware of the EU policies and global trends that stimulate the introduction of digital technologies in kindergartens. \u00a0<br>\u2013 think about the use of educational technologies in your county and compare this progress with other countries in Europe as well as the pace of digitalization of your kindergartens.\u00a0<br>\u2013 read several success stories that will tell you how the kindergartens made success\/progress in this area.<br>\u2013 learn about the variety of age-appropriate tools, applications, and robots used in kindergartens.<br>\u2013 improve your digital competence, create learning materials for your children, use them in the classroom, and reflect on their use.\u00a0<br>\n<\/h4>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\u00a0<br>\n<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n\t<a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/digikid-eng\/references-3\" title=\"\"><br>\n&lt;&lt;&lt;<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/digikid-eng\/part-1-concept-digital-technology\" title=\"\"><br>\n&gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Module 2! \u00a0 Digital transformation has successfully entered the education system, and kindergarten is no exception.
