Description
In this book, student teachers are encouraged to go beyond the question 'how?', and to ask the question 'why?' we should use ICT to support the primary curriculum. It raises challenging questions about the use of technology through curriculum applications, and global issues and classrooms of the future, and promotes new ways of thinking about the use of ICT in teaching and learning. It also provides an international perspective for the use of ICT from schools in several countries.
