Teacher
Training Agency Outcomes, specific to Early Years
In
addition, teachers of pupils aged 3-5 should understand the importance
of introducing pupils in nursery and reception classes to the
use of ICT and recognise the contribution that ICT can make to
this age group, including how to:
- encourage
pupils to become familiar with ICT and positive users of it
- ensure
that all pupils have opportunities to use ICT, and that their
experience takes account of any home use or other previous experience
of ICT
- identify
and teach the skills necessary for handling input devices effectively
- eg. switches, mouse, keyboard
- use
ICT to support pupils' creative development through the use
of computer programs which encourage them to explore and experiment
with pattern, shape, pictures, sound and colour
