This practical handbook focuses on the best ways in which to use ICT to support literacy, numeracy and science teaching in the early years. Recent government initiatives are about to ensure that all classes in primary schools have access to a multimedia computer and the internet. Classroom assistants will also be required to use ICT in their supportive role to the teacher. This book will provide them with a jargon-free and well-illustrated text demonstrating the technical skills necessary to set up and use PC, Apple and Acorn computers, save, store and organize children's work, access the internet, and use a word processor and drawing program effectively. The material provided is linked to the ICT elements on STA, BTEC and NNEB courses and to the developments of the National Grid for Learning.
