Abstract

Digital teaching materials offer new prisms from which to learn, taking advantage of the potential of technology to make learning processes ubiquitous. In this way, formal learning is extended to spaces beyond the school, consolidating alternatives so as not to halt training processes in times of pandemic. From this perspective, this paper analyses the characteristics of a selection of digital teaching materials for the Early Childhood Education stage from three publishers that can be used in the context of the home. Through their link with the curriculum, the impact on learning and other didactic characteristics. The results show that, in general, the publishers are committed to providing the digital materials with a playful purpose as opposed to the physical format of the school environment, leaving the pedagogical potential in the background. Thus, although the materials are attractive, interactive and coherent with the curriculum, there is room for improvement in terms of their adaptability for inclusion or attention to diversity. This helps to identify that, although they are useful resources in times of pandemic, it is still open as a future line of work to provide materials with greater pedagogical potential.
