= Welcome Milika = We have put together this wiki as a resource to share all of the information we explore over the next couple of days. This wiki will be able to be added to you by yourself and your teaching team as you continue your ICT journey. We look forward to learning alongside you and sharing our skills and knowledge with you. Thanks Elaine, Ann and Tania.

= = =What is ICT?=

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is any form of technology that is used for sharing information. Some examples of ICTs used in early childhood centres are email, Internet, digital cameras, laptops, fax and cell phones. Fast-paced ICT development means the types of ICTs available are constantly evolving. Children entering early childhood centres have been born during 'the Google era'. Yet barely ten years ago few adults, let alone children, knew what Google was. Technology will continue to develop, changing the nature of our world. Foundations for Discovery, released by the Ministry of Education in 2005, recognises this change, as well as the importance that ICT plays in children’s lives. It provides a framework for ICT in early childhood.
