Abstract
Technology and digital media, used in conjunction with more traditional preschool learning activities in the early childhood classroom, have demonstrated positive outcomes in increasing early literacy skills in preschoolers with limited exposure to pre-academic activities (Penuel et al., 2009). Building on these findings, Educational Development Center, Inc., and SRI International are implementing a study that focuses on early mathematics learning through integrating transmedia and hands-on activities. We propose strategies to build on these two important teaching mediums in the most developmentally appropriate and meaningful way to promote the best practices possible.
