About The Webinar
Using Technology to Encourage Physical Movement in Line with EYFS Requirements
This webinar will provide nursery managers and practitioners with insightful expert suggestions on how they might positively use technology to encourage both physical and cognitive activity among young ones in early years settings.
The World Health Organisation’s guidelines advise no more than an hour of sedentary screen time per day for pre-schoolers, while recent research (such as Ofcom’s 2022 Media Use and Attitudes Report) indicates that digital device use among the very young is rising steadily year on year. It is increasingly important, therefore, that young children are not missing out on essential and beneficial physical activity as a result of their heightened engagement with tablets, phones and other screen-based technology.
In this webinar, Joanna Kolak – lecturer in developmental psychology at the University of Salford – explores how technology can be used to support various activities that benefit children’s self-confidence, their executive and fine motor skills, and their overall ‘digital intelligence’.
