'... for teachers who are curious about what ICT can do for them and their pupils.' - Les Watson, Times Educational Supplement'Covers a major issues in education at present...it takes the field forward by offering an up-to date critique which is needed to inform policy and practice.'- Steve Kennewell, University of Wales, Swansea'The book is a useful addition to the literature on ICT in school as it sets the arguments in a contemporary context. This is a valuable book ...' - Michael Hammond, Journal of Education for Teaching'...this is an interesting and well-written collection. I doubt if any student or newly qualified teacher will read all of it but they should be encouraged to use the book to become more informed and perhaps more reflective. I suggest that libraries should buy it and stock it for their student teachers. Schools should make it available to newly qualified, and more experienced, staff.' - Jerry Wellington, Computers and Education
