'Down to earth common sense, reaffirming ICT's role as a useful tool to support enjoyable learning - exactly where good English teachers need it to be' Jon Rosser, Senior Learning Adviser, Flintshire Local Authority, UK 'This should become a standard text in the field of ICT in English education. But the best thing about it is that it has been written by English teachers, for English teachers.' Ian McNeilly, Director of the National Association for Teaching English, UK '...an excellent book for all English teachers, packed full with creative ideas... Whether a highly experienced, or a new teacher, this book is the ideal resource to inspire the best possible use of ICT to support excellent English teaching. You do not need technical knowledge as the book is full of examples with clear guidance about how to make the best use of freely available software.' Andy Goodwyn, Head of Education, University of Reading, UK 'In this excellent and inspiring book the authors promote a range of innovative and engaging classroom practices that never lose sight of the central values in teaching. They easily sell the use of the internet to assist English teachers in gaining instant access to a worldwide audience for their pupils' work. They also detail a range of exciting classroom approaches that are firmly rooted in active learning.' Linda Harris, Lecturer, University of Strathclyde, UK Teaching English Using ICT is a text which is vital to any teacher's collection of resources. The days of spending tireless hours typing, printing and laminating for those "engaging lessons" are well and truly over. Rank, Warren and Millum have created an extremely useful resource not just for teachers of English but for teachers of any subject. One can now use their basic ICT skills and generate enjoyable learning experiences for all students. -- Mary-Kate Murphy * NATE *
