What is ICT?



What is ICT?

  I believe ICT allows us to making learning more interesting. However; in Early Childhood Education;  ICT could include computer software and hardware, Digital cameras and Video cameras, Internet, Telecommunications tools, programmable toys, and many other devices and resources (Bolstad, 2004). Moreover,  ICT defined; as anything which allowed us to get information, to communicate with each other or to have an effect on the environment using Electronics or Digital Equipment. By using or integrating ICT in the classroom will increase the level of children’s learning; which includes children’s cognitive, social and emotional development (Stephen & Plowman, 2003, p. 4).
