the rapid expansion of technology into the worlds of young people has created a new generation which can use computers, mobile devices and other digital technologies as easy as winking. Nevertheless, in the context of early childhood settings there are some influences that may differentiate the technology use behaviors of preschool children which are generally constructed at home or school environment. This study seeks to define the possible influences, effects and praxis of technology use in early childhood settings, and also intends to explore the current research trends about technology use in the field of early childhood education. Data were gathered from several scientific databases.
