This is a list of all the Technology-related children’s books that I like and find useful both for my own kids and for my students. Some of them I have a physical copy of at my computer lab, some of them I teach (and know) from YouTube readalouds. I guess the list will never be complete because of the abundance of picture books on the topic of Technology and Coding, but I can at least try 🙂
