Steve Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Hi - It was mentioned a little while ago, but I think it might be worth reminding members that there's a CD package for Foundation Stage professionals available at no charge. Ordering is very straightforward via the Prolog hotline. Details below: ------------------------- A CD Rom is now available to support practitioners in their understanding of using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in the Foundation Stage. This has been developed as part of the Primary National Strategy’s aim to enhance learning and teaching using ICT. The CD Rom consists of a set of video clips and supporting documentation, an outline of how ICT can be used as a tool to support children’s learning across the Foundation Stage and a series of helpful ‘How to ..’ sheets. The CD Rom is available from Prolog (0845 6022260) Ref: DFES 0384-2004 GCDI.
Sue R Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Thanks for that Steve, I don't actually remember seeing anything about that, but I'm a bit confused and tied up at the moment...... Um, STILL can't get into chatroom. Sue
catma Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 It's very good, there is actually one for every primary year group. You get model lessons, video clips of children taking part in ICT and it looks at ICT in every area of the curriculum not just CLL and maths.
Guest Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I too have the C.D rom and think it is very good with some great examples. I have taken on the role of I.C.T co-ordinator in our school and was a little reluctant when we were presented with yet another example C.D. I handed them out to the other teaching staff and have had some very positive feedback. One thing i must comment on though, is some of the lessons shown are in an ideal world, when no children wet themselves, call out, pick their nose and all those other things 4 years old usually do.
Beau Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Sue, ICT is computer related so we wouldn't expect you to be anything but confused.
catma Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 What you might want to think about is that it doesn't demonstrate the teaching of ICT skills as a curriculum area but does give ideas for how children might practice/use those learned skills in other curriculum areas.
Susan Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 They won't send it to me at a private address! Admittedly I tried to email the order and I have been reffered to the telephone ordering. IF I phone will I be able to order it? As a supply teacher, I dont have a work address and it sounds very interesting!
Lorna Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Even if you phone they will only mail to schools:( L
Steve Posted October 25, 2004 Author Posted October 25, 2004 Hi Susan - When I spoke to them they said they didn't need any formal address. If you give them a call they may send it to you - not sure. Give it a try - they can only say no. I think they're keen to spread the word.
Verona Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Hi there I phoned for the CD after reading about it on here this afternoon. They said they would send it to me and I own a Pre-school, so let's just see if it arrives, I'll let you know. Sue J
Guest Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Hi Susan Give you home address as your work address ie The Principal, Little Acorns Academy, followed by street name. etc. it works ever time.
Susan Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Hi, Ive got it! Arrived this morning and I ordered it from the standards publication site without any nonsence about it coming to my home address!
Verona Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Hi I've got it as well!! I received my copy this morning. I own a Pre-school and I just gave my home address. Sue J
