STEAM: STREAM into Online Play Groups--How Children Adapt to Play in a Rapidly Digitized World
Horrace, Rebecca
International Journal of the Whole Child, v6 n1 p78-87 2021
The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship between technology integration and play from a whole child perspective, specifically through online play groups. As play continues to decline and vanish from our schools completely, the author believes we must reexamine the countless benefits of play across STREAM education. With current digital advancements, children will adapt to online play and continue to develop their creative and analytical skills. The author suggests that with continued support from parents and educators, children who are encouraged to have a say in what and how they learn can use online play to build a solid STREAM foundation.
