Primary schools are becoming less cross-curricular, but it's still easier to deliver PSHE in a primary situation. Generally PSHE is taught face-to-face. We do circle time and discussion and that's terribly important, but ICT provides other ways of looking at things. It's an extra dimension to what we do already. We use Drugsense in year six where you have the factual information supported by real-life situations which are quite down to earth.

With a computer the children can get into a situation and make decisions - there's no one else there, no one watching them. They can concentrate on the situation they're in. In an ordinary classroom environment it's easy for some children not to take part - they might be shy or have a personal story they'd rather not talk about.

Using ICT, each child gets to take part, they get an opportunity to think about the issue individually - then it can be followed up in circle time.

This is a difficult area for teachers and it helps to have a resource which they can have confidence in. It's easy for me, I'm the coordinator, but it's difficult for teachers to find the time to get to know the software.

We're pretty well resourced here, with PCs in every classroom. I've plans for a network. The children use ICT to produce certificates to celebrate achievement. A child who finds it difficult to work may make a real effort and the other children recognise it and produce a certificate on the computers to congratulate the pupil. That's PSHE in action.

Children use the internet for research - that has to be very structured, otherwise they waste time and don't get a great deal from the exercise. And, of course, a teacher needs to have looked at the site first. A network would make all that easier.
