'All too often books on ICT in schools focus on the systems, the software and the staff. Organisationally these are, of course, important but all too often the child's perspective is overlooked. This book sets out to present a perspective from the viewpoint of a child; an approach for which the authors should be congratulated for undertaking.' John McComish, University of Huddersfield, UK
