This is an eminently practical book, which has been written to help all primary school teachers bring IT into the teaching of history in their classrooms. History and information technology might appear at first to be incongruous, but, as Lez Smart shows, both teachers and their pupils can use IT to enhance and increase enjoyment of the learning process and at the same time satisfy the requirements of the National Curriculum.After an introductory overview chapter, the central three chapters demonstrate and develop the uses of IT in primary history teaching through popular topics or historical periods. The final chapter covers logistical considerations such as classroom management, differentiation, access, equal opportunities, progression and continuity. The implications and resonances for IT and history within the overall curriculum framework are also explored.

The UK National Curriculum requires children to develop an IT capability through the different subject areas. This book for non-IT specialists aims to help humanities teachers use IT to enhance and facilitate children's learning. The author considers how children's historical and geographical knowledge, skills and understanding can be better developed through use of IT, and how their IT capability can be developed in this context.

<p>Few people can resist the appeal of old maps, whether their interest is in history, geography, or beautiful cartography. Here we present 25 glorious examples, reproduced large-scale with magnified details. This thought-provoking collection features maps that record major and minor events; maps that have influenced and inspired; even maps that have deceived. Each gives a fascinating insight into the times in which it was created. Lez Smart tells the story behind each map and reflects on what it reveals about its makers and users, from the early cartographers to the Elizabethan explorers to the soldiers of the Second World War.</p>
