Abstract

This paper explains a kindergarten project that uses multiple technologies, culminating in daily videoconferencing with another kindergarten. This project took place at a university laboratory school as a demonstration of appropriate use of technology, including videoconferencing, for preservice teachers. As the students prepared for the daily videoconferences, they were engaged in dramatic play, Internet activities, and a field trip to a television station. The project proved to be an exciting experience for the children, extending their understanding of technology and the world.
