"Put your finger on your nose if you are proud of your technology!" Technology in the new entrant classroom

Teaching technology to very young students is achievable and is a valuable addition to their work in the classroom. There are teacher strategies and techniques that enable students to work in a more flexible and independent manner, unconstrained by limited reading and writing skills. A clear teaching focus limited to teaching a narrow range of design components appropriate to the age group makes the learning of 5-year-old students into a worthwhile, imaginatively challenging activity that easily meets the expectations of the curriculum.
