Synopsis

New information and communication technologies are significantly enhancing pupil learning and altering the most common methods by which children acquire information and knowledge. The internet and other forms of ICT are already beginning to radically change teaching practice and learning in the UK and Europe. Through the internet teachers and pupils around the world can send text, sound and pictures to each other with ease. UK government initiatives such as the National Grid for Learning have indicated that teachers must move swiftly to more web-based work in schools. Governments in other countries are encouraging similar developments. In response to these initiatives, this text aims to introduce teachers to the range of ways in which ICT can be used to support and extend the teaching and learning opportunities in their classrooms. Chapters cover areas such as: DT literacy, numeracy, science and their relationship with ICT; DT managing curriculum projects using ICT; and DT creating and using multimedia applications. Ideas and activities for teachers to try are based on tried and tested methods from innovative schools around the UK and abroad.

Practising teachers and students should find this a useful guide on how to work together to extend their skills and knowledge in the area of ICT.
