The book provides with very important guidelines on what is necessary for successful travelling
across the immense variety of options brought forth with an advent of ICTs. The main point the
authors never fail to remind the readers of: “Pedagogy not technology should be in the forefront
when implementing ICTs into teaching and learning”. 

This Elementary ICT Curriculum for Teacher Training is a state-of-the-art curriculum. After
reading Curriculum you may get a feeling that your wish for driving a computer across the land
of ICTs has increased considerably, but is not yet fully satisfied. Do not be confused – it is
quite natural for any honest twenty-first century schoolteacher. 

The field of action, as the book definitely testifies, resembles not so much of a highway, or
even inner-city curved streets to drive in, but rather high stormy seas where a captain is in
charge of managing a ship. Hence, the cource in navigation and accompanying maritime arts seems
a more adequate working metaphor than a driving licence for anyone willing to really master the
craft.
