Technology use is a form of literacy that is becoming essential for success in the workplace and in the world (President’s Committee of Advisors on Science  and Technology, 1997). Those who have mastered its use will have a lifelong advantage over those who have not. The study contributes updated, specific information about the computer competence of early childhood teachers, including teacher attitudes, skills, classroom practices, and the interrelationship among them. The results raise research questions that call for more targeted studies of teacher technology competence. The recommendations related to training design are supported by other studies and reinforce the immediate need to improve technology training for early childhood teachers.
