Thinking and Learning with ICT: Raising achievement in primary classrooms
A book for teachers and researchers combining research findings and advice.

In this fascinating book, the authors outline a strategy for enhancing the effectiveness of computers for teaching and learning with an emphasis on: * raising pupil achievement in the core subject areas * developing collaborative learning in small groups * using group discussions as a way of improving general communication, as well as thinking and reasoning skills The approach is to use computers as a support for collaborative learning in small groups and the book presents ways to prepare pupils for talking, learning and thinking together around computers. Excerpts from pupils' discussions illustrate the main issues and guidance on lesson planning and developing and choosing appropriate software is also provided.
