Play and Technology

In this clip, unplugged technology has been incorporated into continuous provision.

Good for looking at

  • Technology in play
  • Socialising
  • Outdoor play

Notice

  • How are children accessing technology (how has it been made available)?
  • How are they using the technology (what are they doing with it)?
  • What does this video tell us about the children’s understanding of technology?

Reflect

  • What unplugged technology do you have available within your setting?
  • How do children access unplugged technology within your setting?

What next – planning

  • Could you extend the amount of unplugged technology you have available through parental contributions/use of your local recycling centre?
  • How could you use this technology to support and extend role play?
  • Where else could you make unplugged technology available.
