“…Content shown on tablets can be easily paused, replayed, or otherwise tailored to suit the needs of the user, providing children with opportunities to exercise user control. In addition, children can interact with tablets, thereby engaging in planning and decision‐making (Lee, ). When tablets respond to children's needs and adjust content accordingly, children may gain confidence in their ability to control their environment.…”

We explored the relations among young children's mobile media use, sleep, and a form of self-regulation, temperamental effortful control (EC), among a national sample of 402 mothers who completed an online survey. We found that the relation between mobile media use and EC was moderated by children's sleep time. Tablet use was negatively related to EC only among children who slept less at night (40% of our sample). However, hand-held game player use was positively related to EC among children who slept longer at night (60% of our sample). In addition, sleep quality was a mediator in the relation between evening tablet use and EC. Evening use related to later bedtimes, more bedtime resistance, and worse sleep duration, and these indicators of poor sleep quality, in turn, predicted weaker EC. Statement of contributionWhat is already known on this subject?Young children are spending increasing amounts of time with mobile media, such as tablets and hand-held game players. Media exposure is related to children's self-regulation. Media exposure is related to children's sleep quality. What does this study adds?Number of sleep hours moderates the relation between mobile media use and EC among young children. Tablet time is negatively related to EC among young children who get fewer sleep hours. Hand-held game playing is positively related to EC among young children who get greater sleep hours. Sleep quality mediates the relation between evening tablet time and EC among young children.

The digital age has reached early childhood, and the use of touch screens by young children is common place. Research on the use of touch screen tablets with young children is becoming more prevalent; however, less information is available on the use of touch screen tablets to support young children with disabilities. Touch screen tablets may offer possibilities to preschool children with disabilities to participate in learning in a digital way. The iPad provides easy interaction on the touch screen and access to a multitude of engaging early learning applications. This paper summarizes a pilot study with 8 young children with disabilities included in a preschool classroom, who were given iPads to use in class and at home for a period of 21 weeks. Systematic observations, classroom assessments, and teacher and parent interviews documented the improvements in learning outcomes for each child in many areas including, but not limited to: shape and color recognition, letter recognition, and tracing letters throughout six research cycles.

“…The students, who were born in the mid-1990s to 2010 are defined as z-generation [6]. They are digital natives who frequently use digital interactive technologies as one of the dominant activities in their play experiences, ways of communication, and their learning method [7]. The use of technology as learning media may stimulate students' feelings, thoughts, willingness, and attention while encouraging the learning process [3,8] so that the information can be easily understood by students [9].…”

This study aims to develop a digital teaching media using PowToon that will help raise the integration of ICT in the young learner classroom. In this study, a design and development research method (DDR) was used. The media were developed by applying phases of ADDIE. The development was based on questionnaires, interviews, and the syllabus of the elementary level. Four to six topics in each grade were developed using PowToon. Upon completion of the development phase, 31 prototypes were consulted with material and media experts. Although those media were categorized as excellent media, some improvements were still conducted in compliance with the experts' suggestions. The PowToon-based video media reached its final form following the applications in the classroom in line with observations conducted during its application and the feedback given by the teachers and students.
