About this ebook

This is the only early years guide available to combine ICT pedagogy and practice; perfect for starting children off to computing technology; and a user-friendly and completely accessible text. This book will show practitioners how they can cover the foundation stage curriculum for ICT and prepare the children for the new computing curriculum for KS1. It will provide pedagogical clarity and show schools and pre-schools what it is that they need to be doing to demonstrate outstanding practice. Computational thinking will also be extended beyond the use of computers, and its relevance to supporting the child's wider cognitive development and learning will be emphasised.
