Learning for Tomorrow

Modern technology surrounds all of us on a daily basis, regardless of age. It has never been so important to remain up to date with the ongoing changes in the world of information technology.
 
Today´s child is not only aware of computers in their environment, but also knows how they function, what the keyboard is for and how to operate a mouse correctly. As they see their parents and carers using computers, lap tops & I pods regularly, they are instinctively curious about how they work and what they do.
 
As well as using computers and cameras within role play, the preschoolers are given the opportunity to work on the computer as part of their weekly activities. Children are encouraged to bring in their own educational software and share programmes with their peers.
 
At 9 months we place an emphasis on IT and integrate use of the computer within the national curriculum. Children use a variety of software and also focus on mouse control, click & drag method and working individually as well as with a partner.
 
Children at 9 months are introduced to the computer, printer & scanner and pieces of work are often e-mailed to parents at work and home, to create a link between nursery and home environments.
