The Role of I.T.: Practical Issues for the Primary Teacher

From the Publisher: Teachers and students planning to develop Information Technology Capability across the curriculum have to consider a range of issues - from the management of resources to the contribution IT might make to the children's learning and the challenges that it presents to the teacher. This book discusses the reasons for using IT in the classroom and focuses on important roles of the teacher in understanding its purpose in the curriculum. It highlights the way in which IT can be used as a 'tool' in dealing with information; as a 'resource for learning', giving insight into the nature of tasks; and as a 'thought provoker', contributing new ways of working for learners and teachers.
