Using EdTech to Enhance Inquiry-Based Learning in EYFS
Session Summary:
Early Years classrooms thrive on curiosity, exploration, and play—but technology often feels like an intrusion rather than an enhancement. This session demonstrates how digital tools can amplify, not replace, inquiry-led learning in EYFS settings. Through real classroom examples, discover developmentally appropriate strategies for using EdTech to extend children's natural curiosity, document thinking processes, and deepen engagement—all while preserving the essential balance between hands-on play and purposeful technology integration. Learn how to make thinking visible, support collaborative exploration, and use digital tools as catalysts for richer learning experiences in Early Years environments. Join this session to:
• Identify developmentally appropriate EdTech tools and strategies that extend inquiry-based learning and make children's thinking visible in Early Years classrooms without compromising play-based pedagogy
• Apply practical integration techniques demonstrated through real classroom examples to balance hands-on exploration with purposeful digital tool use in EYFS settings
• Evaluate how technology can support documentation, collaboration, and deeper engagement in inquiry-led learning while maintaining child-centered, developmentally appropriate practice
