I believe that digital literacy activities can be integrated in the household at a preschool age and if you would like a toddlers age. I know of many families that are starting early to have their children learn their abcs, numbers, and sight words using digital literacy activities like Starfall.com or apps on their phones. Children need to start learning literacy even more at an early age, and with the new generation of children being digital learners the best way is to teach them with digital literacy activities. All the digital literacy activities are so engaging now a days that the children like to play with them. Some online/digital literacy activities are like video games and they hook the children. If we start early, when they come to kindergarten they will come with a great amount of knowledge. It is a great basis of learning for them.
Once in school I believe online/digital literacy activities should be integrated in Kindergarten. It is a way to hook the students into learning and make learning fun for them. Also if we start them early, as they continue through the other grade levels they will be come more comfortable with technology. This makes me think of Aviva and her students, especially the student she has had for three years. She feels so comfortable using the technology given to her. That would be great to see in every school. As we know students are digital learners and integrating digital activities at an early grade will help them succeed in school and life.
Many of my friends who have children of their used digital literacy activities to help them learn their abcs, numbers, and words. When I speak to their children you can see how much they know. We know they are like sponges, so let's start early.
