These practical examples and resources can help with using ICT in the classroom. Follow a Year 3 teacher as he investigates whether using computer games in his primary class can enhance teaching and learning.

Many teachers are sceptical about using computer games in the classroom. Key Stage 2 teacher Neil Webster's reservations are banished when he meets Dawn Hallybone, a Year 6 teacher, who's already using computer games in class to great effect.

Neil later demonstrates the technology he has learned, as he puts it into action with his KS2 pupils.
