Why ICT is becoming more and more important in children’s education today

 In today’s technologically conscious world, it is important that children not only learn how to use
information technology efficiently in their home and school lives, but also learn how to be safe.
Information Communication Technology, or ICT for short, is an important part of the UK school
curriculum and has been for many years now. It teaches children computer skills such as word
processing or spreadsheet creation, skills which will stay with them for the rest of their lives, like
when they find work or go to higher education.
If you are a parent looking to introduce and teach ICT games and lessons to your children to
provide extra-curricular improvement, then you are in luck. For there are absolutely hundreds upon
hundreds of programs and CD-ROMs you can use and rely on. It is important to remember that
ICT isn’t just about knowing how to turn on a computer and type, but that it is about knowing how
using a computer can benefit you. Under what circumstance is using a computer beneficial instead
of reading a book for example? These types of questions are the kinds which are asked by
students, and teachers who teach ICT GCSE to 15 to 16 year olds, should have the answers to.
To give one example, let young children play maths games for kids on a PC could arguably be
more beneficial to them than asking them to sit in a room and memorizing their multiplication
tables. Through playing games, young children are able to learn and have fun at the same time,
and studies show that when children are having fun, the areas of their brains related to learning
become even more stimulated, heightening the amount of information they absorb.
Similarly, English learning games, not just on the PC, but on the IPhone or Nintendo DS, can do
more for children than traditional school methods. Even something which seems trivial like the
popular “draw something” game on the IPhone, where players draw a picture and guess what is
being drawn, can improve on spelling and reading for young kids. You can be sure that most
children will spend more time playing these kinds of learning games than they do actually sitting
down and learning through the traditional methods. Who is to say that one method is better than
the other if the child is learning either way?
Lastly, there are a number of free online quizzes available on the internet to test your children at a
variety of subjects they’ve learnt at school. So as well as using a computer to learn, children can
use a computer to test and validate information they’ve picked up. People are starting to take
technology for granted now, but the great thing about it is, it has become a part of education
instead of its substitute. Children aren’t abandoning education for technology, but instead using
technology to improve their education, and that is why ICT is forever important for them.
