    'In summary, this book is comprehensive and extremely detailed, comprising a welcome blend of informed and authoritative discussion with an array of practical examples and suggestions for improving the use of computers in the Primary classroom. It is more than a handbook, but retains handbook qualities in that teachers can dip in and out with speedy comprehension of both content and context. ICT coordinators should like this book because it is neither forceful nor prescriptive.' - Journal for Computer Assisted Learning
