ABSTRACT
Education has suffered multiple changes due to technological progress. Even though the current generation of preschoolers (aged 3 to 6 years in our country) is called digital natives, the education in using technology lacks from their current teaching activities. This paper presents our approach in introducing fundamentals of digital systems and supporting the development of digital skills of preschoolers by proposing a curriculum for an optional class in technology and by implementing it and assessing its results.
