How can power and gender perspectives on using ICT in kindergartens be addressed and understood? This article tries to answer this question by analyzing two cases from Norwegian kindergartens. The writer uses aspects on power from Machiavelli, Weber and Foucault, and recent research on ICT and gender. Machiavellian strategies on being sly rather than fierce were pointed out in both cases and some gender stereotypes as well. Shortage of digital tools in kindergartens seems to contribute to maintain gender stereotypes and sustain unwanted effects of power relations.Keywords: Gender, power, Kindergarten, children, ICT, intersectionalityNøkkelord: Kjønn, makt, barnehage, barn, IKT, interseksjonalitet
