PRIMARY 6 ICT IN ENGLISH.- TO PARENTS

TWO QUESTIONS FOR PARENTS:

WHAT IS ICT? WHY DO WE LEARN ICT?

To promote children’s use of ICT as a tool for learning, develop the necessary skills to achieve this and also to develop their understanding of its everyday use:

  • Children should have access to a wide range of familiar resources which are intuitive and accessible to develop their technological understanding.
  • Technology should be integrated in role play to reflect the world around us.
  • Children should be encouraged to work co-operatively, share  knowledge, skills and enjoyment.
  • ICT should be integrated throughout the Foundation Phase curriculum, developing a skills based approach to computer use which encourages control of the equipment.
  • ICT should be used to communicate widely, such as with parents other agencies, between children and staff.
  • Appropriate use of the internet should be encouraged by children and staff as a potential source of knowledge and to support learning.  (from www.learn-ict.org.uk)
