Ict and Primary Science - Tapa blanda

'An easy to read and well polished guide to using ICT in primary education for the technophobic and technosceptical teacher...This book is a great investment for all slightly nervous primary teachers who do not relish the idea of using the 'computer in the corner' and also those who would use computers in a limited way but are ready to take their next step towards seeing just how far ICT can take lessons.' - Education Today

Throughout this book, the authors emphasize that primary science is at its best as a practical, hands-on experience for children. When ICT is used in an integral way, it can enable practical work to be done at a more sophisticated level, helping children to make sense of their findings. The book includes several case studies from primary classrooms and each chapter includes practical suggestions for teachers.

The wide-ranging topics covered include:

• databases and spreadsheets
• data logging
• control technology
• ICT, drama and science
• school visits
• planning for ICT and science
• choosing and using software.

ICT and Primary Science is an accessible and jargon-free resource for teachers and student teachers of primary science.
