Abstract

Abstract: Children learn how to use new technologies such as TV, video and computers from their every day classroom activities. The presence of a teacher proved to be rather unimportant, since the children learned through collaboration. The use of the new technology for entertainment is taught cooperatively from one child to the other. We observed children from Greek kindergartens learn from each other and then we asked them to draw a computer. The more experienced in the computer use a child is, the better details contained in its picture.
