Description of this Textbook
The changing landscape of primary teaching requires trainees to consider learning and teaching in new ways. This book supports trainee teachers working towards primary QTS in teaching primary ICT across all areas of the curriculum. It takes a truly cross-curricular approach, highlighting meaningful links across the curriculum, and embraces the latest thinking and current good practice. A chapter on social networking and e-safety gives essential guidance on this topical issue, and a section on developing your own skills in ICT is included. This second edition is linked to the 2012 Teachers' Standards and includes notes on the new National Curriculum.
