ABSTRACT
Socio-constructivist perspectives in early childhood education (Sayeedand Guerin, 2000) recognise the importance of viewing play as an activity where children are developing their confidence and capability for interacting with their cultural environment. If we are to provide for an appropriate, broad and balanced education in the early years we must first therefore think about children playing, but then we must also think about the particular subjects of that play. In recent years the application of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) has brought about fundamental changes to our culture, and the legitimacy of its place in the curriculum can therefore be hardly doubted.
