During an hour or so of class, we had a guest speaker come in and talk about the positivity of technology for young children, parents, and educators and walked the class through a web page/application called "HiMama". "HiMama" is user-friendly, for educators and parents - it is used a substitution to children documentation during programming.
HiMama is a substitution to the centre’s program documentation, it allows for educators and parents to engage in individual children’s learning growth. Allows for continuous communication, memory reminders and connecting families with the centre. Not only does HiMama support documentation it allows for communication, engagement, technology involvement, and it saves time. When educators are able to save time on documentation it means educators would have more time to engage with the child's learning and experiences throughout the day.
The online document HiMama allows educators to have access to every individual child's section for inputting and updating the professional development the child is building on a daily or weekly basis. The application is used to document the child's activity engagement, what they have eaten, the time they have slept, etc. This then is informed to the parent(s) that have access to an HiMama account for their child. Educator(s) and parents at the center have quick and updated information based on what the child is currently working on.
For further information based on HiMama access the website and or video below!
This is what the app looks in the Apple store (iPhone, iPad, etc.) and should be similar to on Google Play (Andriod) - This is for educators and the center staff to use.
This app is for parents to use and access their child's progressing documentation.
