This book is written for teaching assistants but will prove useful to anyone working with children in primary schools. It begins by taking the strands of the National Curriculum for ICT and shows how these are turned into practical activities in classrooms. Examples are given throughout from across the primary age range so that the educational purpose of this core subject becomes clear.
There are then chapters on using ICT across the curriculum with a particular emphasis on literacy, and numeracy. Finally the spotlight is turned on the role of ICT in inclusion and how technology can make the curriculum more accessible for all learners.
