Abstract

Research studies published in the last five years (2001-2006) are examined in the area of computer use in early childhood settings. Results of the literature review reveal few research studies in this area, however, in the studies examined, computers are found to increase achievement in areas of social skills, academics, problem solving and more, though there is a strong need for more research, especially focusing on new technologies and software.
