This fully updated third edition of Teaching and Learning with Technologies in the Primary School introduces practising and student teachers to the range of ways in which technology can be used to support and extend teaching and learning opportunities in their classrooms.

Newly expanded to include 50% brand new chapters reflecting the abundant changes in the field since the last edition was published, it offers practical guidance underpinned by the latest research and teaching in the field. The authors draw on the extensive experience of educators in Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, the U.S.A. and Wales to provide local, national and international examples of the application of digital technologies to teaching and learning across the primary curriculum.

Illustrated throughout with case studies and examples together with a glossary explaining key terms, chapters focus on how technology-based practices can support the teaching of individual subjects, as well as a range of teaching and learning styles. Key and new topics covered include:

- Supporting reading and writing with technology

- Technology in the early years

- Developing e-skills of parents

- Use of Virtual Reality in learning

- PedTech

- Resilience in the digital world

Written for all training primary teachers, as well as more experienced teachers and technology co-ordinators looking for guidance on the latest innovative practice, Teaching and Learning with Technologies in the Primary School, 3rd edition, offers advice and ideas for creative, engaging and successful teaching and learning.
