Today's children are growing up surrounded by media. They use it intuitively and without fear. But in order to make their use safe, effective and constructive the handling with media should be learned just as any other skill. Through media education in kindergartens children can learn about the use and creation of media and its content. The focus in kindergartens should be, in contrast with the usual use at home, not only on the proper handling of media but much more on using media as tools to realize one's own ideas and goals. Through early media education kindergartens can help close the digital divide and help all children lay good foundations for later media literacy and skills. The website includes Media Education Toolbox (a practical guide for kindergarten educators), Activities for children (photography, storytelling, media, creative exploration) and Materials for families (ideas for involving parents and starting conversations about media usage).
