Since The Role of IT was first published in 1995, there have been numerous developments in the perception and practice of IT, not least the addition of Communication to the acronym. Although the potential of the Internet, email and the World Wide Web had been recognized at this stage, in practice such aids were of only minimal significance to teachers. Today, ICT lies at the heart of policy-making in education. This change in attitude forms the basis of this fully up-dated second edition.

With content tailored to AQA specifications, and activities that are designed to reinforce learning, this work features integrated assessment support throughout to help boost grades. It also includes: exam-style practice questions; summary mindmaps; and key terminology defined to support its accurate usage: in context; within a glossary.

Teaching and Learning with ICT in the Primary School introduces 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: literacy, numeracy, science, and their relationship with ICT; managing curriculum projects using ICT; 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 will find this an invaluable guide on how to work together to extend their skills and knowledge in the area of ICT.

This book considers the potential of ICT to provide opportunities for young children to learn through playful and creative activities, examining research and practice in relation to the educational uses of ICT with young children. The book raises important issues about teaching in the early years using ICT, such as giving pupils control, co-operative working, access and assessment.

What Information and Communications Technology (ICT) resourcesboth hardware and softwareare available for math teachers? How can they be used to extend and enrich students learning across the math curriculum? How can teachers incorporate ICT effectively into their lesson and course planning? Why should math teachers incorporate ICT into their teaching? What developments are likely in the future?

Covering the main areas of ICT that history teachers encounter, from Internet to DTP and creating and using spreadsheets, this book provides a matrix for teaching opportunities at Key Stage 3 and 4 / GCSE. It combines practical evaluation, advice and instruction, and includes a large selection of activity worksheets and exemplar sheets for specific applications that teachers can adapt and use in their own teaching.

Information and Communications Technology has revolutionised the ways we process, access and use information and, as computers and other devices become ever more powerful, and information becomes more readily available, the next generation will need to be able to interact with digital media effectively to exploit these amazing new technologies to their full potential for the benefit of society. It is therefore imperative that teachers become familiar with ICT and its true potential and can present information with a perspective similar to that which the present generation of young people is using to develop their interests in their everyday life. This resource from the RSC gives teachers of chemistry the practical help needed to integrate ICT into their teaching and stimulate the enthusiasm of a new generation of scientists in the exciting new areas of chemistry that are opening up such as Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Furthermore, it will be highly effective in developing the new ethos of sustainability that will be a major driving force behind the next advances in chemistry that are vital if we are to survive the manifold problems confronting society in the next few decades. This resource is ideal for all secondary teachers of chemistry, trainee teachers and university lecturers.

This textbook covers Modules 4 and 5 of the AQA Information & Communications Technology 'A' level course and is suitable for a wide range of IT courses. Case studies are used throughout to illustrate the concepts as they are explained and questions from past exams are included.

This book provides a range of insights into pupils' learning relevant to the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in primary science. The contributors, who are all experts in their field, draw on practical and theoretical perspectives and: Provide specific examples of software and hardware use in the classroom Consider innovative and creative uses of technology for pupils engaged in science activity in the primary and early years Indicate future possibilities for the use of computer-based technologies Key themes running through the book include: setting the use of ICT in primary science within theoretical perspectives on learning and on pedagogy; the importance of using ICT in developing talking and listening opportunities in the science classroom; and the potential of learning through ICT enhanced science investigations. Contemporary issues such as inclusion, creativity and collaborative learning are also examined, making Teaching and Learning Primary Science with ICT essential reading for students in science education, and for teachers who want to use new technology to improve learning in their science classrooms.

This book provides a starting point for exploring the possibilities that ICT offers to schools, teachers and pupils.
