Description
This book helps trainee and newly qualified teachers to familiarise themselves with ICT and its uses in the primary classroom. ICT support for teaching and learning within the core subjects is discussed, together with ethical issues and health and safety legislation associated with its use, and methods for improving teachers' own professional development. Each chapter includes guided activities and links with recent research, as well as clear links with the Professional Standards for QTS, the pupils' National Curriculum and the Schemes of Work for ICT at Key Stages 1 and 2.
