El artículo muestra los resultados iniciales de una intervención en formación del profesorado que nos ha ayudado a diseñar un proyecto de investigación. Se elabora a partir de la narración biográfica fruto de la práctica docente de futuras maestras, lo que nos ha permitido entender la relevancia que otorgan a la necesidad de abordar la literacidad crítica, desde los primeros niveles de escolarización. El diseño de la propuesta de formación docente se realizó a partir de experiencias previas en las que el uso de la cultura popular y las nuevas tecnologías facilitan una enseñanza comprensiva para la construcción de identidades en contextos multiculturales. La experiencia nos ha servido para entender cómo podemos ayudar a futuras maestras a diferenciar entre hechos y opiniones, argumentar sobre la veracidad y la fiabilidad de fuentes, distinguir la ideología de los recursos de aula e identificar silencios. Junto a ellas conocimos qué cuestiones sociales relevantes pueden abordarse en el aula de educación infantil; cómo enseñar a interpretar información sobre cuestiones sociales relevantes, cómo abordar la literacidad crítica con alumnado de educación infantil.En definitiva, la experiencia nos ha acercado a conocer cómo ayudar a futuras maestras a repensar el conocimiento social y superar conflictos internos en la interpretación y tratamiento de cuestiones sociales relevantes desde la literacidad crítica.ABSTRACTThe article shows the initial results of an intervention in teacher training that has helped us to design an investigation. It is elaborated from a biographical narrative resulting from the teaching practice of future teachers that has allowed us to understand the relevance that they give to the need to address critical literacy from the first levels of schooling.The design of the teacher training proposal was based on previous experiences in which the use of popular culture and new technologies, facilitate a comprehensive teaching for the construction of identities in multicultural contexts.The experience has allowed us to understand how to help future teachers to differentiate between facts and opinions, argue about the veracity and reliability of sources, distinguish ideology from classroom resources and identify silences. Together with them, we knew what relevant social issues can be addressed in the classroom of early childhood education, how to teach how to interpret information about relevant social issues, how to approach critical literacy with children's education students.In short, the experience aims to know how to help future teachers to rethink social knowledge and overcome internal conflicts in the interpretation and treatment of relevant social issues from critical literacy.

Pedagogical Framework

This chapter will introduce a pedagogical framework to engage with literacy practices in early childhood contexts and English language learners (ELLs), based on the commonalities across three research studies carried out in three schools in Medellín, Colombia. In this chapter, we argue that developing strong pedagogical proposals for PreK-5 spaces entails breaking the traditional compartmentalization of children's practices between in or out of school and carefully integrating multimodality and critical literacy in our curricula. Besides the explanation of our pedagogical framework and its link to our current research, the chapter also provides some insights for early childhood teachers working with ELLs around the world to draw from these frameworks and transform their curricula. Although language context may differ, there are developmental commonalities across the board that practitioners and teacher educators can draw from, regardless of whether the children are in English-speaking contexts or not.

This chapter reviews the state of technology training for early childhood educators in teacher preparation institutions across the country. Using NCATE and NAEYC standards as benchmarks of practice, the chapter outlines some current issues and research on technology training at the preservice level, such as course sequence, textbook choice, content infusion, field experiences, et cetera. The chapter also outlines three technologies, Web 2.0, Google Earth, and the virtual manipulatives that are accessible, free to users, require little teacher training, and have evidence to support their instructional benefits. These three well-developed technologies can easily be introduced to students and teachers as exemplars of constructivist pedagogical technology in early childhood science and mathematics classrooms. Activities using each are included.

ABSTRACT This article presents and briefly discusses some results of a survey conducted as part of a study on multiple literacies and the use of technology in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. An online questionnaire has been sent to English teachers of the third cycle and secondary education in Portugal with the aim to investigate their perceptions on the use of new technologies, particularly Web 2.0 tools, in their teaching practice. This article focuses particularly on the results from the questions related to materials and digital tools frequently used, teachers’ general view on the use of technology, as well as the digital and critical literacies approach. It has been found that although technology seems to be part of the teaching practice of this group of teachers – and although further research is necessary to deeply understand the actual use of technology in this particular scenario – it can be assumed that suitable guidance, training and further development of appropriate materials for teachers and students are necessary to facilitate and better integrate new technologies in the EFL classroom.   Keywords: New technologies and language learning. Multiliteracies. Digital literacies. Critical thinking. English language teaching. RESUMO Este artigo apresenta e discute brevemente alguns resultados de uma pesquisa realizada como parte de um estudo sobre múltiplas literacias e o uso da tecnologia na aula de inglês como língua estrangeira (English as a Foreign Language – EFL) (Cardoso, 2017). Um questionário online foi enviado a professores de inglês do terceiro ciclo e secundário, em Portugal, com o objetivo de investigar as perceções e as opiniões deles a respeito do uso das novas tecnologias, especialmente dos recursos da Web 2.0, em sua prática profissional. O presente artigo enfoca particularmente os resultados obtidos das perguntas relacionadas à frequência de uso de materiais e recursos, à visão dos professores sobre o uso da tecnologia, assim como à abordagem das literacias digitais e críticas. Embora a tecnologia pareça fazer parte da prática discente desse grupo de professores, e ainda que pesquisas adicionais sejam necessárias para entender melhor o uso real dessa tecnologia nesse cenário em particular, é possível dizer que são necessárias algumas medidas para que a integração significativa e eficaz das novas tecnologias nas salas de aula de EFL, tais como, orientações adequadas e treinamento aos professores, e maior desenvolvimento de materiais apropriados.
