Abstract

This paper refers to the distance education in kindergarten. Specifically, it describes how to organize and implement synchronous and asynchronous distance education, through the use of virtual classroom which is provided by the Cisco webex platform, the e-classroom e-class, e-me and the school blog. Online tools and ways of using these tools for the production of products such as interactive worksheets, "quizzes", "puzzles", e-books are suggested, which can support the kindergarten teacher in his / her educational work, making their teaching more attractive and interactive. At the same time all these products can be utilized by students in their free time. Subsequently we present the implemented distance learning program of our kindergarten and indicative activities that can be done in distance education.
