The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in
primary schools is often problematic and frustrating for teachers
and pupils alike. Drawing on a study of the experiences and
perceptions of over 600 primary pupils, this book explores how ICT
provision may be improved from a 'bottom-up' perspective -
considering a number of radical suggestions for recasting primary
schools as sites of innovative, imaginative and empowering
technology use. There have been relatively few empirical studies of
primary school IT use, and very few studies of pupils' perceptions
of using technologies in primary schools. This book addresses the
lack of 'learner voice' in the existing literature by providing
interesting, thought-provoking insights into children's views of
ICT. From this background, the book is able to make a number of
practical suggestions for changes to the nature of ICT organisation
and provision in schools, and so will benefit schools' efforts to
better align education ICT use with the needs of children.
