under5s - ICT

Young children learn by exploration and investigation. They need to learn how to use equipment correctly and safely. With regular access to equipment young children will soon become confident and competent in this area.

Practitioners should plan activities using the following types of
equipment :

remote control vehicles (suitable for this age group e.g. Fisher-Price)
computers (these do not need to be expensive state of the art PCs)
basic MP3 players, old cassette recorders (with headphone sets)

Of course learning through play is one of the best ways of learning. Role play areas should, therefore, include the use of ICT e.g. telephones, calculators, tills, TVs, and kitchen equipment etc.
