Teaching and Learning with Technologies in the Primary School

This fully updated third edition of Teaching and Learning with Technologies in the Primary School introduces practising and student teachers to the range of ways in which technology can be used to support and extend teaching and learning opportunities in their classrooms.

Newly expanded to include 50% brand new chapters reflecting the abundant changes in the field since the last edition was published, it offers practical guidance underpinned by the latest research and teaching in the field. The authors draw on the extensive experience of educators in Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, the U.S.A. and Wales to provide local, national and international examples of the application of digital technologies to teaching and learning across the primary curriculum.
