Riassunto

This revised edition has been updated to match the 2012 EYFS and includes easy to follow activites for incorporating ICT, that even the most technophobic of teachers can follow. It uses technology to develop creativity and opportunities for outdoor play and includes up-to-date guidance to all of the UK curricula guidance on ICT. In an increasingly technological world with growing curriculum demands for children to become technically literate, many early years practitioners feel simply lost at how to approach this topic with the underfives.This revised title, written by the foremost expert in Early Years ICT, John Siraj-Blatchford, is a step-by-step guide on how to teach young children a variety of ICT. Importantly, this book also answers what many in the early years are sceptical about, which is the ability for ICT to provide opportunities for creative thinking and collaborative role play and outdoor play. Many different types of ICT are explained through activities that even the most technophobic of practitioners can carry out: from work with simulation games, through to programmable toys and Interactive White Boards.The guide also gives a thorough overview of the role of ICT within the current various UK curricula and what is expected of practitioners.

Recensione

Clearly written and easy for practitioners to access, it addresses any anxieties about using ICT in the early years by explaining that it is not ICT itself that is the problem but how it is sometimes used and shows that when used appropriately ICT has the ability to enhance learning and extended thinking. --Bernadette Duffy OBE, Thomas Coram Children's Centre.

This book is an eye opener. It shows how ICT could be used easily in every day life with children in early childhood education, for learning about technology as well as for supporting different curriculum content. The book is very child oriented and at the same time has a pedagogical aim. --Professor Ingrid Pramling Samuelsson, Department of Education, Gothenburg University.

A good book. Clear understanding given regarding ICT. This will help the students with their assignment and when they are in placement. --Jane Hammond, Early Years Tutor, South Essex College.

A fabulous book explaining how ICT can be used in early years. The book provides practical tips on how to incorporate ICT in early years planning. --Lorna Morgan, Childhood Studies Lecturer, Highlands College, Jersey.

I like this book very much and will be adopting it for my course 'ICT to Support Children's Learning'. The book is timely and full of ideas given the ways in which children grow up and develop with technology nowadays.The sections on using ICT in different environments and the inclusion of programmable toys, digital cameras etc. are a nice way to look beyond computers. --Dimitrina Kaneva, Lecturer in Early Years, University of Bolton.
