MOE drafted a set of teaching and learning guidelines for the use of ICT in pre-school centres. The draft guidelines provide position statements with regard to teacher’s use of ICT in the classroom for children from 4 to 6 years. Based on the belief that children learn best when they engage in concrete, hands-on experiences and quality interactions, the teacher’s role is critical in ensuring that the use of ICT is thoughtful and intentional. The presentation would highlight the important findings from the literature and country scans which have informed the drafting of the guidelines. Examples of meaningful and appropriate use of ICT in pre-school classrooms and considerations to safeguard children’s health and social emotional well-being would also be shared at the presentation.
