Comparing Computer based learning needs of Primary and Early Years.
-
Unfortunately early years education often takes a back burner to higher levels of primary education across a range of areas and especially with regard to ICT. I am not sure whether it is a lack of understanding of the importance of early childhood education or just battling to get resources. Even with all of the research about the advantages of good quality early childhood education many still see these years as not containing any 'real' learning, just play. If young learners are viewed as 'just playing' then why would people use ICT budgets on them? As early years teachers one of our biggest battles will be to fight for recognition of early childhood education and the resources to support it.

Another good online resource. This one is free and while it is British Based it covers most year levels; Early Years, Key Stage 1 (yr1-2), Key Stage 2 (yr3-6). I have used a few of the early years resources and found the very useful.

SpeEdChange: The Toolbelt and Universal Design - Education For Everyone - 108 views

It is interesting to think of 'assistive technologies' in this way. When we teach children design and technology it is all about designing and using tools to make our lives easier. Technology isn't just ICTs.

Universal Design

UD is a powerful concept and I find it particularly relevant to education. It is not about what children can/can't do but rather what tools they need to do the activity. Some children may need more or different tools to others.

When I read I need to make similar choices. I read really slowly, really badly. But for short things I just tough it out with “ink-on-paper” (or paint-on-signs), though I have a Reading Pen with me if I’m having a very bad day - a day when no alphabetical system connects correctly in my brain. But I also use Click-Speak in Firefox for reading web pages. I use WYNN for big academic reading, and Read-and-Write-Gold – all of which convert text to audio (WYNN and Read-and-Write both highlight each word visually as it is being read aloud). Sometimes I use audiobooks – especially for novels, poetry, or great historical stuff, or I let WYNN, Read-and-Write, or WordTalk convert the text to an mp3 I can listen to in my car.

I know some of you are already familiar with these things but I have just sent this information to my father-in-law. He has a visual impairment and as a result finds reading impossible with out help. He has been using a projector, and audio books and these have made a big difference to what he can achieve independently. These tools may make reading even more accessible to him - another example of how different people need different tools.

A reading from week 2 that encourages you to develop your own toolbelt to help you achieve what you need to do.
