This edited book presents the most recent theory research and practice on information and technology literacy as it relates to the education of young children. Because computers have made it so easy to disseminate information the amount of available information has grown at an exponential rate making it impossible for educators to prepare students for the future without teaching them how to be effective information managers and technology users. Although much has been written about information literacy and technology literacy in secondary education there is very little published research about these literacies in early childhood education. Recently the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children s Media at Saint Vincent College published a position statement on using technology and interactive media as tools in early childhood programs. This statement recommends more research to better understand how youngchildren use and learn with technology and interactive media and also to better understand any short- and long-term effects. Many assume that today s young children are digital natives with a great understanding of technology. However children may know how to operate digital technology but be unaware of its dangers or its value to extend their abilities. This book argues that information and technology literacy include more than just familiarity with the digital environment. They include using technology safely and ethically to demonstrate creativity and innovation; to communicate and collaborate; to conduct research and use information and to think critically solve problems and make decisions.

Contrary to modern beliefs the medieval world was not one of superstition and ignorance. True they lacked what we know as science but on the other hand they were in possession of a coherent philosophy of life handed down to them from the Greeks and Romans which had been further hammered out in a thousand ways over the course of centuries. When luck was with them (the period was above all poor) medieval peoples were surprisingly successful in dealing with the problems of everyday life. With minds open we come to the medieval world as if it was a strange alien planet. Because their philosophy was different their observations were different and therefore their solutions were different. Some were good. Some were not. The best of them are worthy of our attention for they can teach us much. The author Joseph Blagrave (1610-1682) was a country doctor who lived in Reading England in part as he lacked the license that would let him practice openly in London. Fundamentally he was an astrological herbalist. To this he brought an eclectic mix of observation experimentation folk knowledge and his own unique genius. Free of modern conceptions he was able to view and treat the diseases of his day in ways that were revolutionary.
