Sanger, Jack; Wilson, Jane; Davies, Bryn; Whittaker, Roger

• Introduction -- The Land of H -- The Digital Curriculum: Computers in School -- Home Improvements: Domestic Computers -- Keeping IT in the Family: Computer Games and Families -- Who is Being Framed? The Use of Video in School -- Vexed Whys and Videotape: The Use of Video in the Home -- His and Hers: Screen-based Technology and Gender Issues -- The Enchanted World: Screen-based Entertainment Technology and Visions of Childhood -- To Boldly Go: Issues and Consequences -- The Crystal Maze: How the Research was Done

'It should certainly be read by educational policy-makers ... there are lessons here for teacher educators, particularly those working post initital training. Finally this book should be read by parents ... Screen based technologies are occupying more and more of our time but there is little evidence from home or from school that we are providing children with the cognitive and emotional tools safely and effectively to exploit these technologies. Sanger does us all a good turn in raising this issue.' - Jean Underwood, Educational Research Vol 41:1 Spring 1999
