Early childhood education professionals plan and implement play-based experiences with the children in early learning programs. Current research is emphasizing that technology in early learning programs “supports and increases young children’s skills in social, cognitive, language, literacy, writing and mathematics realms”(McManis & Gunnewig, 2012, p. 15). The use of technology in play-based programs is positioned to change the way children engage in play, exploration and their overall learning experiences (McManis & Gunnewig, 2012; Parikh, 2012; Shifflet, Toledo & Mattoon, 2012) . Such findings suggest that early learning professionals require the skills to integrate technology into play-based experiences with children that follow sound pedagogical principles (McNierney, 2004). Using technology with children is changing the landscape of play-based early learning environments (Dietze & Kashin, 2012) .  \nWith the influx of technology and social media in the lives of young children, those who teach early learning students need to consider the place technology (e.g. mobile devices) and social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) have in their teaching and learning environments. With students demanding up-to-date interactive teaching and learning experiences (Clifton & Mann, 2011; Downing & Dyment, 2013) we, the authors, two faculty in higher education, embarked on a collaborative journey of inquiry to explore the influence that educational technological integration would have on our teaching practices and pedagogy.
