Technologies are advancing at breakneck speed, which is very beneficial for education if used properly, making the most of the new technological tools.
The implementation of new technologies in the classroom is a necessity that only leading schools are managing to adapt to the current educational reality. It is essential to use the most appropriate for each task, from a responsible and pedagogical perspective.
For some time now, children have been growing up with technological advances. It is therefore essential to teach digital skills from an early age, as well as to explain the advantages and dangers of the network and technological devices.
New technologies in Early Childhood Education
At Logos Nursery School, a nursery school in Las Rozas, we implement the use of new technologies in the classroom from an early age. Thus, our students acquire basic digital skills before starting at Logos International School, the senior school where they will continue their education until high school.
At the Early Childhood Education stage, technology and robotics are part of daily learning.
Through the Ipad Projectwe incorporate technology into our classrooms as an essential work tool. The children learn to use Ipads and digital boards, while learning about their pros and cons.
Benefits of technology for children

- They help to renew learning methods, making them more attractive to children, especially the youngest ones.
- The use of technology in the classroom motivates students. It is a different and fun way to learn.
- It teaches children to be critical of the information they receive, as they learn to distinguish truthful data from hoaxes and dubious information.
The numerous benefits of new technologies for children make technological innovation one of the basic pillars of Logos Nursery School.
