Digital education in kindergarten: daycare centers in Main-Spessart go ahead!

In the Main-Spessart district, the digital future has found their way into the daycare centers: Nine daycare centers have participated in the "Starts chance Kita.digital", which deals with the safe and productive handling of digital media. Media educator Frank Findeß and his team have made a decisive contribution to promoting the media literacy of educators, children and parents. The action has led to not only the daycare teams were trained, but also the parents were actively introduced to the digital world.

parents' evenings, which were combined with practical exercises on tablets and other digital devices, have proven to be particularly effective. Many parents reported positive experiences and changing access to digital media, so that they are now more open and safer in dealing with the technology. Children have also been actively involved: they have created films, cameras and microphones films, media collages and audio games that show their ingenuity and creative use of technology.

a creative final event

The training found its crowning glory in the community hall of the Holy Family in Karlstadt, where the creative works of the children were presented. The results not only illustrate how much joy the little ones had when using digital media, but also the remarkable increase in learning that was accompanied by it. These events have shown that the integration of digital media into everyday day care centers is no longer a future music, but already has a permanent place in education.

The combination of theory and practice has proven to be valuable to prepare children for the digital world. In the future, this approach should be pursued further so that daycare centers can continue to establish digital media as an integral part of their work.

proven further training

Another aspect of digital education in daycare centers is the tested further training "Digital media in the daycare center", which is certified by the State Central Office for Long -distance lessons in Cologne (ZFU). This further training is examined by independent specialist personnel to ensure the completeness of the content and the technically correct information. The exam also includes the analysis of the didactic structure, which contributes to ensuring learning success.

After successfully completing such further training, the participants will be issued a digital final certificate. The entire process is guaranteed transparent and high-quality, which is of great value for the daycare centers in Main-Spessart.

The digital upgrade in our daycare centers is on a promising path. Parents, children and educators benefit equally from this development, which shows that digital learning and creative work can go hand in hand. It remains to be seen whether this will be a role model for other counties in the region. But one thing is certain: work is actively working here!
