Niko LewmanWhen planning ICT inclusion in primary education; grades 1 – 4, people often miss out the simple questions. It seems that teachers are either overwhelmed or plainly lacking basic computer skills and therefore lack a cohesive and holistic vision and understanding of the matter. They usually end up scraping the surface: use a little bit of this and that, and that’s it.

All software and services that I’ll mention are either Free or Open Source or platform independent. There really should not be any hidden or extra cost for schools to use best ICT -solution in education.
