Experience Plan: Digital Technology Teaching Resource for Children

This assignment presents an experience plan for a digital technology teaching resource, designed for early childhood education within a K12 setting. The plan outlines an activity where children use the ICT room to research the specialties of different places using the internet. It details the materials required, the rationale behind the activity, and its alignment with the EYLF framework, particularly focusing on children as confident and involved learners. The plan includes specific developmental learning outcomes, such as demonstrating knowledge of information technology and navigating through Google Earth. It also provides teaching strategies, linking to EYLF outcomes related to children's connection to the world and their confidence as learners. The educator's role involves guiding children in using technology, including hardware and software concepts. The plan emphasizes responsiveness to children, with an evaluation section describing how to assess the child's progression towards achieving the learning outcomes. Finally, it discusses follow-up activities and potential challenges, such as access to technology and classroom capacity. This assignment aims to introduce young learners to the world of technology and encourage individual learning through hands-on experience and research.

Experience plan
Date of implementation:
Title of experience – Digital technology teaching resource
In this activity children are provided with the names of some places and were asked to list the
specialty of those areas. For this activity, the students are taken to in the ICT room, where they
are allowed to use the internet and search for the places and their specialty.
Materials required and a diagram or photo of set up:
Materials- computer
Internet connection
A rationale linking the justification of the learning experience to the skills identified in the observation
and ensuring the plan meets both the capabilities, interests and cultural contexts of the child
The rationale for choosing this active is due to the fact that children love technologies and have
always shown positive preconception to the regards. Such an activity will introduce the children to
the world of technology. Their hands-on encounter with the technology makes them more
interested towards learning and encourages individual learning. Technologies help in the active
participation of the children in the classroom. Furthermore, access to the internet gives children

exposed to a wide range of resources to conduct research in their own ways.
A link to an EYLF principle which relates to the underpinning philosophy of the experience plan :
Children are confident and involved learners- learning outcome 4.0
A list of developmental learning outcomes that are specific and can be evaluated and demonstrate
developmental progression from the skills identified in the original documentation:
Developmental learning outcomes-
 Children will be able to demonstrate their knowledge in information technology
 Children will be able the show their skills in navigating through Google earth, recognise various
icons.
A link to an EYLF outcome listing the specific aspect of child evidence example:
Learning outcome 2.0- children are connected with and contribute to the world. ICT assists the children to
explore the world and motivates them to explore about complex matters which would have been
impossible without the use of computers.
A list of the teaching strategies identifying how you will help the child meet each of the learning
outcomes you have planned
 Prior to the activity, the children will be provided with training about the basis of computer,
introducing them to the icons that can be used by them to search for the names of the places.
 List of names of some places were given in the classroom by the educator. Then they are
taken to the ICT room for getting access to the internet. The total number of students were
divided in to two groups and were taken to the ICT room by the educators. They instructed to
search the places using the Google.

Learning outcome -5.0

Children are confident learners and are involved learners as long as their community
experiences and the understandings of the students are recognized and are included in the early
child hood settings. Using ICT in learning enables the students to use the processes like
exploration, collaboration and problem solving across the various aspects of curriculum.
concepts
It the role of the educator to help the children locating the code breaking, teaching about
the use of icons, selecting and operating the different equipment, using of the cameras and the
videos. Children can be given very basic knowledge regarding the concepts of hardware and
software, helping the children to design new text using paints and word arts. The transformative
dimension involves using what has been learned in new ways and new situations. Young children
are easily bombarded by colourful digital logos, symbols. Hence, it the duty of the educators to
teach the students about the various icons and the links for the navigation.
A link to which EYLF practice your plan most relates to your teaching approach :
EYLF practice- Responsiveness to children. The activity will help the educators to understand the strength
and weaknesses of the child.
An evaluation that clearly describes the child’s progression towards achieving each of the learning
outcomes with examples of the child’s interaction with the environment, materials and others:
Children will be able to handle technological devices in the future and use them in their academics. It will
help them to remain acquainted with the current knowledge and the happenings all around the world.
An evaluation of any other aspects of the planning that impacted on the success of the child’s
achievement
In many cases it can be difficult to accommodate many children in an ICT room. It can be costly. Children
might not get access to technological facilities at home.
A follow up of each experience that includes a brief description of the experience and the learning
outcome(s) to be achieved that reflects the child’s demonstrated skills, interests and cultural context:
Children are provided with the names of some places, search them on the internet and write down the
speciality of each of the listed areas. This will introduce the students to the world of technology and
internet.
