Week 3 post 1 How ICT support children's learning



As I go through this week’s reading material I have come to believe that without ICTs children may not able to increase their literacy development. Children learn more things through ICT it has support children learning development as well their cognitive development too.On my other hand children should have their won initiative to develop their own personal skill.Papert suggests that a computer may only assist a child to “to think about thinking” (Papert, 1980 as cited in Kalaš, 2010). The integration ICTs in teaching can help revitalize teachers and students’ .Thus it help developing in education area for them.
