It is a new approach to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that focuses mainly on learning with technology. It includes a well planned cross-curriculum lesson linking task to early literacy, mathematics, science, reading, geography, art and coding. Its use of computer-simulated activities helps keep the children interested and engaged simply because it includes a game-based strategy of learning. As a learning guide, it provides 27 exercises and 29 computer/hands-on activities ranging from tutoring to simulation. Since children like playing computer games, STEAM contents in this book are organized in game form to keep students motivated and engaged.
