The first part of this book charts and analyzes the working days of 326 primary school teachers. It shows how they spent their working lives, the nature of the curriculum they taught, and analyzes their work into five main categories: Teaching, Preparation, Administration, Professional Development and Other Activities. The second part comments on the findings by relating them to issues of school management and curriculum manageability and looks at how the idea of "conscientiousness" among primary school teachers may have led to their exploitation.

I’m opposed to death by PowerPoint. I think people have to get involved in order to get educated. I prefer table groups to lecture-hall seating.
In this book we offer practical suggestions to help you to get into using computers in primary schools. The content of the book is very much based on some of the particular developments which have happened in primary education in England and Wales, where there is a ‘National Curriculum’ for schools which includes Information Technology as a discrete subject. However, we trust that many of our suggestions will be equally relevant to other parts of the world, where similar conditions exist and where computers are being introduced into primary education in similar ways.
