Synopsis

This book supports the delivery of early ICT across the revised EYFS (2012). It explains how to meet the current EYFS requirements including the type of resources that should be purchased to provide an ICT rich environment that will promote improved outcomes for children. Many practitioners are still nervous about the use of ICT in their settings and this book will support them, whatever their level of confidence, in providing improved learning opportunities for children across the prime and specific areas of learning and development. All the case studies, the ideas and the practical elements of the book are based on sound research, and Terry Gould's experience of working with young children. Terry was a former EYFS consultant with ICT lead status.
