Providing children with opportunities to stop and think using digital tools supports their ability to reflect. The ability to use iPads and specific apps to pull in photos, video, or other artifacts of their thinking or work gives children a rich source of data to reflect on their journey and process of learning. Apps are great for collecting and aggregating information about what a child has learned or experienced in an accessible and fluid way. Being able to use their own work to talk through what they are or were thinking at that moment supports their learning process and stays within the setting where the child was actually involved in that work. It creates a living document.

Technology makes the sharing of children's learning more accessible for families and the greater community to access. Sharing is instantaneous.
