Enhancing Digital Literacy and Creativity: Makerspaces in the Early Years

Over the years there has been - and continues to be - contested narratives about what effective practice with digital tools and spaces in education may look like. This contestation may come from differing perspectives about what the purpose of education is, what the role of the teacher/early years educator is or even what effective ‘digital’ pedagogy should look like. However, in this book we have a contribution that shines a purposeful light on this debate. Each illuminating chapter presents evidence of the richness and depth of practice, thinking and research in the Early Years domain about effective learning and teaching with digital tools and spaces. The work featured in this book has the potential to make a positive contribution to our developing understanding of digital education and makerspaces in the Early Years.
