 In recent years, technology has become increasingly important and part of many peoples everyday lives. It is therefore vital for a teacher to be aware of what the children can have access to via a computer. As the children are exposed to technology early on in their lives, teachers need to find a way to incorporate the child’s previous knowledge of technology to further enhance their skills in all areas. The introduction of so many different technologies in the world is increasingly defining the nature of literacy. ‘Reading and writing will become even more important in the future due to the increasing need for inquiring and communicating information rapidly in a world of global competition and information economies.’ (Hill 2006, pg.340)
