Abstract
In this new era of technology, children are more exposed to the advance technology even at an early age with smartphones, tablets and e-readers being some dominant choices as observed by many educators and parents. The experiences with the latest technology can surely pave the way for extraordinary learning opportunities. Every time a new mode of technology is invented, say it from television to computers to mobile devices, it always presents some new potential as an educational tool for the young children. Nowadays there are many platforms for the educational media content than there were ever before. With children spending so many hours a day with these technologies, there are certain concerns which parents have regarding technology use for children. In this paper we have conducted a survey with the parents of elementary school age children (aged 6 to 10 years) in Pakistan. This paper is an attempt to investigate the attitude of parents towards the use of mobile technology for children and specifically in the context of education by using educational or learning apps for children. This paper aspires to provide the guidance in order to overcome the concerns of parents and to increase the accessibility of mobile technology in education for young children.
