ICT in the Primary School (PDF)

"This is an invaluable book for all reflective practitioners who are engaged in using ICT to enhance high quality teaching and learning in the primary years."

Peter Mayne, Senior Lecturer in Primary Education, Institute of Education, University of Worcester, UK

"Scholarly without being intimidatingly theoretical, this book skilfully combines pedagogical principles with a practical focus, making the 'why' as important as the 'what' in planning the use of ICT in the primary classroom ...This is a book that should be read by all primary teachers in training, but which will also provide food for thought for many more experienced teachers." Paul Warwick, Lecturer in ICT and Primary Science, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, UK

This book provides primary teachers and trainees with the knowledge, skills and confidence to use ICT creatively across the curriculum.

Professor Gary Beauchamp balances research-based theory with everyday practice, challenging you to understand pedagogy and how this translates into a range of suitable teaching strategies for the whole class, small groups or individuals.

ICT in the Primary School demonstrates how effective use of ICT in planning and assessment - as well as in teaching - can have a huge impact for both teacher and learner, and includes chapters on making best use of ICT in teaching English, mathematics and Early Years children.
