2. Increasing literacy demands
When educators appropriately integrate technology and interactive media into their classrooms, equity and access are addressed by providing opportunities for all children to participate and learn.
NAEYC Fred Rogers Joint Positions Statement.
Increasing literacy demands
Current difficulties in reading largely originate from rising demands for literacy, not from declining absolute levels of literacy. In a technological society, the demands for higher literacy are ever increasing, creating more grievous consequences for those who fall short.

NAEYC-Fred Rogers-Erikson Position Statement 2012
Non-interactive media include certain television programs, videos, DVDs, and streaming media now available on a variety of screens. Non-interactive technology tools and media and description of effective and appropriate use in this statement unless they are used in ways that promote active engagement and interactions. Non-interactive media can lead to passive viewing and over-exposure to screen time for young children and are not substitutes for interactive and engaging uses of digital media or for interactions with adults and other children.

6. Digital Literacy Encompasses both technology and media literacy
The pace of change is so rapid that society is experiencing a disruption almost as significant as when there was a shift from oral language to print literacy, and again when the printing press expanded access to books and the printed word. The shift to new media literacy's and the need for digital literacy that encompasses both technology and media literacy will continue to shape the world in which young children are developing and learning (Linebarger & Piotrowski 2009; Flewitt 2011; Alper n.d.).
-Digital citizenship is an important part of digital literacy for young children. Digital citizenship in the context of early childhood programs refers to the need for adults to help children develop an emerging understanding of the use, misuse, and abuse of technology and the norms of appropriate, responsible, and ethical behaviors related to online rights, roles, identity, safety, security, and communication.
