Introduction
My research and publications straddle the fields of child development, CCI and educational technology. Since my PhD I have been interested in studying the potential and limits of digital game-based learning in early childhood education, observing young children’s interaction with digital educational tools by means of multimodal methods. I directed various observational exploratory studies on the use of touch-screen devices in preschool education.
