This chapter reports on a project which aimed at helping preschool teachers’ creating digital material as an alternative teaching tool following the outbreak of COVID-19. The project itself was carried out in response to the fact that, unlike for the upper education levels, online and distant education are more complex to offer to preschool level. This partially is not only because the learners at this level are young children but, even complicating the matter, most preschool teachers were prepared limitedly for direct teaching. While COVID-19 pandemic opened new possibilities for digital transformation, including for early childhood education sector. For this reason, the development program referred to as story�telling podcasts was chosen as an alternative.

The teachers found that Podcasts could be an alternative and variety of digital learning media and prevented them from being dependent on platforms such as Youtube
