Reviews

I was hooked as soon as I read in the introduction ... I found the book to be engaging and informative, with a format that lends itself as a text for student teachers and or teachers undertaking professional development in technology.
*Design and Technology Education*

This book is refreshing in bringing Design and Technology to the forefront of how teaching practical skills can be cross-referenced to core subjects and skills.
*Education 3-13*

I highly recommend this text especially for those who are doubtful about their ability to fully develop primary children's learning through Design & Technology.
