  The Really Useful ICT Book is a practical and easy-to-use guide to give you all the confidence you need to use ICT really effectively inside and outside the primary classroom. It makes clear how ICT can be taught as a standalone subject, and how it can be used easily and imaginatively to enhance teaching other subjects.

  Jam-packed with ideas and templates to save you time, this friendly handbook offers an introduction to:

  • using ICT inside the classroom - including interactive whiteboards, computer suites, VLEs and e-safety
  • using ICT outside the classroom - including word processors, laptops, data loggers and digital cameras
  • when and how to use a wide range of software and hardware - from spreadsheet packages through to digital photography, e-portfolios and software simulation
  • using ICT in all subject areas
  • practical suggestions for using ICT in cross-curricular topics
  • using ICT to develop teacher and pupil creativity
  • using ICT for assessment and in your professional role.

  With an emphasis on developing children's creativity and on progression from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2, The Really Useful ICT Book is a comprehensive compendium of advice and inspiration for all training, newly qualified and experienced teachers, as well as those in support roles in primary schools.
