Teaching and Learning Primary Science with ICT (Learning & Teaching With Information & Communications Technology)

This book provides a range of insights into pupils' learning, drawn from theoretical and research perspectives, illustrating their relevance to the use of ICT in primary science. It is aimed at teachers who are interested in how and why they might use new technology in their classrooms and also at those studying the teaching and learning of science in the primary classroom. The authors provide specific examples of software and hardware use but also provide analysis from generic learning perspectives. Chapters are included that consider innovative and creative uses of technology for pupils engaged in science activity in the primary and early years, indicating some of the future possibilities in the use of computer-based technologies.
