Using ICT

ICT is now part and parcel of the primary classroom. Most schools have interactive whiteboards and, indeed, in some schools there is a whiteboard in every teaching area. Primary schools have strong links to their local authority, and are linked by a network. This has interesting possibilities for retrieving, sharing and adapting files. Primary class teachers have noticed the power of ICT to engage children and to help them sustain high levels of concentration.
