Publisher's Synopsis
Teachers and students planning to develop Information Technology Capability across the curriculum have to consider a range of issues - from the management of resources to the contribution IT can make to children's learning and the challenges this presents the teacher. This book discusses the reasons for using IT in the classroom and focuses on the important role of the teacher in understanding its purpose in the curriculum. It highlights the ways in which IT can be used as a "tool" in dealing with information, as a "resource for learning", giving insight into the nature of the task, and as a "thought provoker", contributing new ways of working for learners and teachers.
