The book focuses on conceptual aspects based on research outcomes and viewed through discussion of practical classroom approaches, with the pupil viewed as a competent learner in the context of the global citizen.It has the potential to contribute to courses at initial training level and for continuing professional development since it introduces key issues of importance for all concerned with ICT and the early years curriculum.
