A Platform for Playing – Experimenting communities and open laboratories in a global perspective

Resumé

This text is sketching out a pedagogical framework for how children, pre-school teachers and teachers could start communicating, playing and experimenting with others across time and space, both locally, regionally and indeed even globally using digital media. The framework takes the form of a number of figures developed during different research projects where children in kindergarten, kindergarten class and primary school were involved. It is not an exact step-by-step manual but the text represents a way for pedagogical institutions to understand and design a use of digital media and digital technologies when connecting to the world around them together with children. The examples below have their starting points from kindergartens, nursery pre-school and even primary school.
