Abstract:
This study delves into the integration of innovative technologies in children's education, focusing on the development and implementation of child-friendly educational scenarios. In an era where technology is advancing rapidly, its role in shaping early educational experiences is increasingly important. This research uses observational and experimental methods to evaluate the effectiveness of new technology tools in promoting learning and development in elementary and kindergarten students.

The cognitive goals described in the Developmentally Appropriate Practices for Kindergarten and Elementary School (DEPPS) have developed the educational scenarios. The results are satisfactory as students showed an advanced understanding of the subject matter and showed enthusiasm in using technology, acquiring information and promoting social engagement. The study concludes that the thoughtful integration of new technologies into educational scenarios can be a powerful tool in the developmental journey of Kindergarten and Primary School students. It supports continuous research and development for the continuous adaptation and optimization of educational technologies for the benefit of preschool and early school education.
