Teaching
Training Agency Outcomes, specific to Early Years
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
- encourage
pupils working collaboratively with ICT to share responsibilities
for making decisions and reaching conclusions - eg. as they
progress through a simple computer adventure game.
