| Summary: | The purpose with my degree project is to investigate the use of computers within the daily activity in three preschools and one preschool class. I have designed a survey that I distributed to the staff. The purpose of my work is to investigate how a number of preschool teachers and children in a few preschools and one preschool class in a medium-sized Swedish town are using the computer in their activities. My study shows that the computer is frequently used, both of the children and teachers, but also together. The children in my study are using the computer to play games, listen to music, and go into the websitewww.youtube.com, but also in order to write and count. The teachers primarily use the computer to document, check their e-mail and listen to music. But also to check and find out childhood illnesses, check up schedule, find good educational tools or lyrics. My study shows that the teachers readily want to sit by the computer together with the children. On the other hand to protect children from the atrocities available on the Internet, and to support and introduce children in new games, but also to be close children if they have any questions or need help. My issues are; in what way is the computer used in the preschool and preschool class? And what is the computer used for in the daily activities?
