This social interaction increases children's language development as they absorb the words of other children and adults and make them a part of their own vocabularies. In this informal situation care providers can encourage language development with technology. Tape record children's songs and stories. Let them listen to their own words and then re-record, if they choose, to improve the work. Use cameras to illustrate the stories they dictate.
Older children can help younger ones with the typing, and add captions to the pictures.
Print the stories to share with the families. Show parents the tapes when they pick up their children. Encourage children to create a play or drama to record, and then show it. Keep copies of work to show parents and teachers children's progress while in the program. For children to learn this reasoning, they need communication from those around them.
