Reviews / Votes
'Primary ICT and the Foundation Subjects is full of insights, useful suggestions, practical ideas and lesson plans for teachers, mostly derived from the authors' own experiences. It is inspired by the need to re-affirm a comprehensive, child-centred education. I warmly recommend it to primary teachers.' ~ Professor Brian Morris -- Professor Brian MorrisMore details
