Integrating Schemas and Green Screen Technology in ECE

Understanding children’s schemas helps educators make sense of the deep learning happening beneath the surface of play. Green screen technology gives children the power to project those ideas into vivid storytelling worlds — placing themselves inside their own narratives, environments, and imaginative spaces.

This workshop shows educators how to meaningfully integrate schema-rich learning with simple digital tools to enrich children’s expression, identity, and multimodal literacy. No prior tech experience is required: just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

What You’ll Learn:

• Identify schemas and patterns in children’s play
• Understand how schemas support thinking, exploration, and conceptual development
• Use green screen technology to scaffold storytelling and multimodal expression
• Design play environments that support both schematic learning and digital creativity
• Facilitate child-led digital storytelling that amplifies voice and agency
• Make learning visible through documentation that connects schemas to multimodal literacy
• Integrate technology in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways

Why This Workshop Is Unique

This session bridges two powerful frameworks:
✔ Schemas — the patterns of behaviour and thought that reveal how children understand their world
✔ Green screen technology — a tool for expression, imagination, literacy, and identity formation

Together, they create opportunities for children to explore deeply, express authentically, and communicate their thinking across multiple modes — image, movement, gesture, voice, performance, and digital story.

What’s Included:

• 60-minute live virtual workshop
• Schema identification guide
• Green screen setup and practical tool list
• Digital storytelling ideas for all ages
• Documentation examples that connect schema theory to practice
• Certificate of Participation

This workshop is perfect for educators who want to enrich play-based learning, expand children’s expressive opportunities, and confidently integrate digital creativity into early childhood programs.
