Written for student teachers learning to teach in primary and secondary schools and newly qualified teachers, this book has been designed to engage with a wide range of issues related to ICT teaching.

Issues discussed include :
the background to developments in the UK
the globalisation of teachers using technology
the role of the teacher

a whole school approach to using ICT
creativity
visual literacy and ICT
school websites and opportunities for lifelong learning in the community.

'...this is an interesting and well-written collection. I doubt if any student or newly qualified teacher will read all of it but they should be encouraged to use the book to become more informed and perhaps more reflective. I suggest that libraries should buy it and stock it for their student teachers. Schools should make it available to newly qualified, and more experienced, staff.' - Jerry Wellington, Computers and Education 'Covers all major issues in education at present...it takes the field forward by offering an up-to date critique which is needed to inform policy and practice.'-Steve Kennewell, University of Wales, Swansea
