  4. Consider the ICT package in your setting.. A What are you confidently in or doing well? B What are you doing fairly well, but with some challenges? C What are you having problems with, or finding a challenge? ICT is as easy as A B C?

  5. I.C.T. gives children the opportunity to… • Problem solve • Communicate and collaborate • Create links between skills and understanding • Be motivated to learn • Handle information

  6. What is the Value of ICT? • Confidently handle equipment. • Repeatedly practise manipulative skills. • Use language to explain and discuss. • Seek help when needed. • Develop their awareness of when to use certain programs. E.g. Using a paint program to ‘draw’. • Use technology as it would be used in the ‘real world’, e.g. in role-play.

  7. ICT within the E.Y.F.S

  8. The 7 Principles of Good Practice for ICT ICT within a Unique Child A Unique Child • Ensure an educational purpose • Encourage collaboration • Integrate with other aspects of the curriculum • Ensure the child is in control • Choose applications that are transparent • Avoid applications containing violence or stereotypes • Be aware of health and safety issues

  9. Considering ICT through the Commitments of the Unique Child Browse pages 3 – 6 Discuss how these may impact on provision at your setting.

  10. Learning Environment • “Children learn by a process of actively constructing their own understandings. All the evidence suggests that a learning environment which helps children to do this will, not surprisingly be one which challenges them intellectually and stimulates them to be mentally active.” Whitebread 1996 • Effective ICT provision is making use of resources in all areas of the environment. • Expensive equipment, such as digital cameras, may encourage us to store it away from play-dough and paint! Remind children that they can ask to use it by putting a picture of the camera in the construction or creative area.

  11. How resources could be placed for independent access and creative play.

  12. Role Play Area • Resourcing role-play areas need not be costly. • Use old or nonworking equipment, equipment made from junk models and some child friendly ICT resources. • Creating the ‘junk’ equipment together opens up opportunities for children to talk about buttons and switches and how things work.

  13. Task Look at card from E.Y.F.S. and discuss how ICT supports and enhances The Theme: Learning and Development Commitment: 4.2. Active Learning Begin by discussing the principle. ICT within the E.Y.F.S

  16. ‘‘I think it’s become accepted that technology is, in itself, a bridge to learning rather than any kind of destination; and that a critical factor to the successful introduction of new learning tools is the intervention and involvement of a brilliant teacher.’’ Lord Puttnam, Chancellor of The Open University

  27. Including ICT in Improvement Plan

  28. “All children can benefit from learning with and about ICT. There must be equitable access to all ICT equipment. ICT resources must be selected with care and used with creative and critical thought to reflect and celebrate the true diversity and richness of cultures and religions in our society and to include all children, regardless of race or gender. Observation, recording, assessment and intervention are required to help children extend their learning, solve problems and express themselves.” Primary National Strategy,Learning and Teaching using ICT, 2004
