Abstract
This article describes the experiences of two second grade classes as they used technology as a learning tool to enhance their Social Studies curriculum and build relationships with one another. A lit review is included which addresses the use of technology in early education. Findings indicate that early childhood educators need to seek new ways of using developmentally appropriate technology to engage children in active learning experiences and thus expose them to the world beyond their classrooms.
