Technology in the Pre-K Classroom

At what age can online/digital literacy activities be integrated into the classroom?

As we all already know technology is becoming of great importance in the classroom all over the world. From my own personal experiences many students are coming into school with quite a bit of experience using computers or smaller hand held devises. With this being said I think it's important that technology begin to be integrated into the classroom starting in preschool.

Having collaborated in the past with some of the districts preschool teachers I know that they have a small amount of iPads and iPods to use with their students. They use these devices for a number of reasons including reinforcing concepts, building vocabulary using digital pictures, communication devices and so on.

Through some searching on the internet I came across a site pre-kpages.com which has an abundance of resources including ways to integrate technology into the classroom for early childhood teachers.
