The Really Practical Guide to Primary Technology

by Ron Adams, Peter Sellwood

One of a series designed to inform teachers how to tackle National Curriculum work in class and school, this book focuses on technology. It concentrates on design and technology which is expressed as profile component 1 Design and Technological Capability in the National Curriculum document, rather than Information Technology, which is a wider cross-curricular issue. Opportunities for IT are presented, however, where they arise naturally in technology work. The book contains practical ideas for topic-based activities for use with infants and juniors at Key Stages 1 and 2, an analysis of the demands of the National Curriculum requirements, advice on writing schemes of work, profession, recording and assessment, and guidance on organization and management, tools, materials and components.
