Flavell, Linda2015-04-102015-04-102006-12ACE papers, Issue 18: Contemporary Issues in Technology Education in New Zealand, Paper 2.http://hdl.handle.net/2292/25166These ACE working papers were a publication of the Auckland College of Education and the last of these was produced in 2006.In this paper I suggest that teachers perceptions of Information Communication Technology (ICT) as technology are common, and investigate whether this is leading to confusion and acting as a barrier to children’s technology learning in early childhood education (ECE). These differences arise in part from confusion surrounding terminology used around ICT and technology education, and in part from the ad-hoc way that both ICT and technology education have been introduced to ECE because of the lack of precise guidelines for teaching and learning with ICT in ECE in this age of multiliteracies. Some of the tensions around the use of ICT in ECE are explored in the following article.enItems in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
