Description
This is a highly readable account of a year in the lives of teachers and pupils in two primary school classrooms.
It is written by two university researchers who invite the teachers to introduce computers into their curriculum planning and day-to-day teaching, despite the fact that the teachers have neither the deep understanding of the new technology or of its capabilities. It is an account of initial fear and frustration. It is also a story of increasing insight, awareness and confidence as the teachers struggle to cope with the computer.
