Planning, and classroom and project work, with case studies to show that ICT really can be an integral part of the primary curriculum.

A one-stop resource which covers all foundation subjects and how ICT can best support and enhance their learning and teaching
- This will appeal to the non-specialist teacher of ICT, with advice on software and how to make the best of the Internet and other multimedia resources
- It is in line with the Qualifying To Teach (QTS) standards. Those awarded QTS status know how to use ICT effectively, both to teach their subject and to support their wider professional role.
- It corresponds with the 2003 Primary National Strategy which extends the sort of support hitherto given to Literacy and Numeracy to other curriculum subjects, and in which the use of ICT for successful learning and teaching has been stressed
- As featured on 'www.curriculumonline.gov.uk', the reasons for teaching and learning with ICT are plenty: it is the teaching tool of the 21st century, helping pupils to learn better and preparing them for a workplace already dominated by the computer; pupils love it!
- Includes full textbook features such as: a spacious text design, figures, practical teaching activities, case studies, screen grabs and reference and resource lists

This textbook advises on how to use ICT in the teaching of the primary foundations subjects - History, Geography, Design & Technology, Art, Music, Religious Education, Modern Foreign Languages and Physical Education - a subject-coverage very rarely seen in all other books on primary ICT. Written for the non-specialist ICT teacher, practical advice is given on software, the Internet and other multimedia resources, planning, and classroom and project work, with case studies to show that ICT really can be an integral part of the primary curriculum, and can make learning and teaching both easier and fun for the pupil and teacher!
