Technology as a Classroom Tool: Daily Prompts for Thoughtful Technology Use

Use this printable reflection sheet to plan and review purposeful technology use with children. Its checklist prompts educators to choose technology for a clear learning purpose, preview content, plan before/during/after screen use, engage alongside children, and offer hands-on alternatives. Conversation starters help children notice, explain their thinking, and imagine what to try or create next, while the closing reflection supports future planning. Reach for it when preparing a technology-supported activity or reflecting on how media influenced children’s engagement, feelings, or behavior.
