10 Things that are
good about ICT in
an Early Childhood
Education Inclusive
Classroom
1 . Children find computers and any
other form of ICT device to be
motivating.
2. Text, graphics or sound
can be accessed through
multimedia and this can
account for individual
learning styles and
strengths.
FACT: ICT can aid to moving from integration to inclusion. However, you need to ensure that
you and your staff are developing inclusive practices at your early childhood centre.
3. There is a lot of software
that combines colour,
pictures, animations, sound
and humour which can grab
the children’s attention
who are turned off by
group work and listening.
4. Social interaction is ripe
when ICT is integrated
effectively as children can
work together around the
computer focusing on the
learning task. This enables
them to develop their
language and social skills in
addition to learning from
their peers.
5. Many keyboards offer
access to word processing
so that work is legible.
6. Predictive packages can
make the difference
between thoughts in the
head and words on the
page.
FACT: E-inclusion is based on the social model of inclusion where
learning difficulties are created by the social context.
7. Spell checkers are a great
way to help children learn
to spell if used correctly
and can make a difference
between chaos and
meaning.
8. Assistive technology is a
form of ICT device that
helps children with
physical, sensory and
learning difficulties
overcome barriers.
9. Drawing tools allow early
childhood teachers to
develop and provide visual
instruction sheets for
children who have
problems getting
information from listening
or reading.
FACT: It is important that you understand the demands placed on children in steps of
planned, technology-supported activities if you are to ensure that children with disabilities
are included.
10. Don’t forget about the
power of the digital camera
that allows children to
record experiences and
achievements in a very
immediate way.
