This book provides a highly practical sourcebook for using ICT
effectively in the Secondary classroom. Section One shows exactly
how to use specific applications creatively for stimulating
resources. Section Two applies these applications to classroom
practice. The other areas covered include effective planning and
how key skills can be addressed using ICT.The majority of ICT books
do a reasonable job of explaining how applications work. However,
they leave the educator with a mental leap to make: 'How can I make
use of this?' Sometimes this challenge is too big and leads to
lessons that lack rigour or, worse still, the teacher abandoning
ICT completely. This book uses hands-on tasks to explain how to use
ICT effectively and in an engaging way. Section One shows how to
employ different ICT applications to create exciting resources. The
focus is on showing the benefits of each tool and how they can be
utilised by teachers in both their preparation and lesson delivery.
After every section teachers will have created a useful and
interesting resource that can be used and employed in other
circumstances.Section two, applies these tools to classroom
practice. It allows teachers to approach ICT from the correct angle
by allowing them to say, 'I want to develop thinking skills with
the students, how can ICT help?' or 'Could setting up a Wikipedia
assist in advancing students' independent learning skills?' This
approach is much more effective than starting with technology and
trying to fit the less content around it. This book, therefore,
looks at effective planning and how key skills should be approached
and addressed with pupils.
