Find out how to use ICT in the Early Years with this DVD produced by the London Borough of Havering. The result of an 18 month project the videos show how ICT is about more than just computers and is more than a discrete subject. ICT provides tools to engage and support the development of pupils’ skills across the whole Early Years setting.

With clear, informative videos of classroom practitioners focussing on: Animation, Role Play, Cross Curricular Uses, Digital Cameras, Visualisers and Tips for Getting started the DVD shows teachers how to explore new technology, integrate it into classroom practice and enhance teaching and learning. The examples show how ICT can support pupils to develop independence, communication and collaboration and shows that teachers with little confidence using ICT can become enthusiastic advocates of the use of ICT.

The DVDs are available to purchase at £29 + VAT for settings around the UK, see their website for details http://haveringict.edublogs.org/2011/07/20/easy-as-ict-havering-early-years-ict-dvd-provides-a-good-starting-point-for-in-house-training/
