Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thank you fellow practitioners for all your support and words of encouragement Could I pick your brains (few ideas) on innovative ways of applying ICT in foundation stage to entice children who are not effectively accessing this area. Impact for practitioners (links with EYFS) etc Could you guys recommend any book or resources as I would like to compile and action plan (linked to ICT (KUW) as an area of improvement within my setting. I would value your support please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Oh and these too: http://www.semerc.com/inclusion_in_action/...early_years.asp http://www.staff.ucsm.ac.uk/rpotter/ict/ea...early-years.htm And a book: Supporting ICT in the Early Years (Supporting Early Learning) (Paperback) by John Siraj-Blatchford (Author), David Whitebread (Author) Book Description The primary aim of this new volume in the Supporting Early Learning series is to help readers understand how very young children (from birth to six) develop an early awareness, and subsequently develop their knowledge, skills and understandings of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The rapid growth of ICT has prompted concerns among parents, educators and policy-makers over the suitability of many educational applications, and electronic toys, for young children. However, evidence is presented to show that the use of ICT by young children is compatible with the principles of a developmentally appropriate curriculum (DAC). In fact the authors argue that used imaginatively, many applications of ICT can make a significant and unique contribution to children's social and cognitive development. The authors show how parents and other carers, teachers, and other professionals are already providing a rich learning environment in this area of experience. If you go to this on Amazon it gives links to other books and resources at the bottom. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
