In line with the topic I am covering with my 1st year Ed Studies students I received this week’s ICTOpus link where they are looking at ICT in primary science, using as a focus a 'blast-from-the-past' piece. This is an article by Michael Negus, first published in 1981, looks at the potential of the 'microcomputer' in the teaching and learning of primary science. This piece shows remarkable foresight. Editorial margin notes make comparison between Michael's piece and the Becta science entitlement document. They also look at what Michael failed to foresee - the use of the internet for cooperation and collaboration.
