Early childhood educators are constantly giving feedback to children, co-educators, parents and management. With the high demands on our time and the need to document everything we do, educators often seek an appropriate way to provide feedback that is valuable, accurate, and is easy to do without requiring too much time or taking us away from our work with the children. Children's learning is often abstract and recording the process can be a challenge, especially when the process doesn't result in a final product or concrete piece of evidence to show for the child's new knowledge or skill. I believe that digital technology can provide educators with a suitable way of providing feedback and documenting the experiences and learning within an early childhood setting. Videoing a child's experience as they master a new task can be very rewarding not only for the child and educator but also as feedback for parents to show what their child has achieved at kindergarten.
