“…These technologies should be implemented with science tasks adapted for elementary school children: observations, measurements, experiments, experiments, surveys, etc. Thus, the use of ICT along with the formation of appropriate learning hyper environments can lead to a situation in which former students who had problems with learning can quickly master this knowledge, moving toward it in an independent direction (GOMES et al, 2019). Addressing the formation and application of innovative hypermedia aims to create a range of intermediaries and additional intermediate stages for the gradual transition from the use of symbolic to the application of imaginative thinking in students (NOROUZI LARSARI, 2022).…”

The aim of the study is to analyze the Ukrainian experience of the introduction of innovative, information digital technologies in the educational process of elementary school in the conditions of Russia's large-scale military invasion. The study was conducted based on an experiment in which it was possible to prove the effectiveness of the use of innovative, information, digital technologies in the use in the elementary school. The results substantiated the benefits of using these technologies under martial law. It was proved that the productivity of learning in the experimental group increased by 15%, that is, thanks to the measurements of assessments it was possible to confirm the effectiveness of the appeal to innovative teaching methods. The conclusions note that the formation of these skills as the Russian invasion continues will be a relevant problem for future research.

“…Three hundred and forty-six students and twenty teachers used programming and robots to explore and present ideas to turn their city into a smart city. Students presented a diversity of proposals such as games to explore the rehabilitation of the river, programming robots to care for community gardens or to model an intelligent building [49]. thinking through the development of the ability to plan and execute activities and mental skills to solve problems.…”

ALGO-LITTLE is an EU-funded project, with partners from Portugal, Italy, Turkey and Slovenia, searching for ways to integrate Algorithmic Thinking skills into preschool education for the purpose of preparing future code literates starting from an early age. Algorithmic Thinking stems from the concept of an algorithm, which refers to solving a problem by developing a set of steps taken in a sequence to achieve the desired outcome. The concept can be traced to the work of Papert and is connected to the seminal article by Wing that introduced Computational Thinking. Early Childhood Education algorithmic skills include abilities to learn and work according to the rules or models since children are capable of understanding, using, applying and developing simple algorithms. The paper analyses initiatives, studies, and projects that are connected to Algorithmic Thinking in Early Childhood Education in Portugal. In terms of curricular documents, it was found that code has been relevant for Portuguese Early Childhood Education (at least) since 1997. In 2016, the Portuguese Curricular Guidelines for Preschool Education (PCGPSE) were reviewed and this second version amplifies the mentions to technology. In terms of studies and projects, the "Kids Media Lab Project II" stood out as the only systematic initiative for promoting Computational Thinking in Preschool Education.

Information Technology (IT) literacy is very important and should be taught even in early education. Proper use of IT is needed by the young generations today. Introduction to IT should be done while still in elementary school. However, since the infrastructure of Indonesia is not even among the cities, a glimpse of IT is a privilege enjoyed by students in big cities. Students in smaller cities often face difficulties and tardiness regarding the use of technology. For instance, the students of SD Negeri 02 Sijuk have deficiencies in facilities and infrastructure, which causes a low level of literacy in information technology. Therefore, basic computer skill training was created to introduce the technology to its students. In this training, the students are taught to design and process text and images to create attractive presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint. The students showed very high enthusiasm when the training was carried out. In the end, through this training, the students were successfully introduced to the use of information technology.
