SSSC 23 Digital – No.22 Improving Outcomes

There are some elements of ICT which work well for my setting. Nearly every staff member has access to their own laptop and iPad which has access to the City Council Sharepoint. We have Seesaw which is very interactive for staff & families and is where all observations are written up. Each room has a Smart screen which the children can interact with and we can look up anything from kids yoga to nursery rhymes. The children can also play with Beebots and an interactive magic carpet. Wearable technology is probably more recognised as an Apple Watch a member of staff would wear. It would be interesting to see this implemented into the children’s learning, especially when they are active outside. It would be interesting to have more resources with facial and voice recognition so the children can learn more about how they speak and recognise different body parts. One main thing I would like to see is ICT that doesn’t break or come apart, as that is a common problem working with toddlers. Technology is constantly changing so who knows what else will be created to support early years.
