Summary/Abstract: In this article, I presented the results of the research aimed at identifying how early school agechildren create their digital skills. Despite the fact that the topic of digital skills seems to be anempirically well-recognized area, there is still relatively little research on children aged 6–9 years.I presented the conducted research both from the perspective of a child and an adult: digital expertsand teachers. I conducted both qualitative research (in-depth interview with thirty children and tendigital experts) and quantitative research (survey with 717 teachers). Such a confrontation of threeperspectives allowed for a full view of the digital world of the child. The research showed the thinkingcommunity of children and digital experts, and the opposing (in many aspects) early childhoodeducation teacher’s way of thinking.
