This document discusses a project called "Magalhães laptop in kindergarten" that was implemented in a Portuguese kindergarten between 2011-2014. The project aimed to introduce children ages 3-5 to information and communication technologies. Key goals were to promote contact with audiovisual resources, develop computer skills, and assess digital literacy development. Through guided activities with laptops, the children explored educational software, typing, painting, and telling stories with a podcast. An example "Xico" project had the children memorizing dialogues, building props, and recording their voices to create a sequential story podcast. The document outlines the goals, strategies, evaluation, and various activities used in the project to introduce young children to educational technology experiences
