Opis

Improving Literacywith ICT isintended as a source book of ideas that you can adapt to suit your needs - thisis not a collection of lesson plans. The approaches described in the book areapplicable to a wide range of cross-curricular situations and a table isincluded to indicate some of these.
Manyof the activities lend themselves to pupils working in pairs and small groups, as ICT can encourage discussion and group decision-making. Most activities arefollowed by Development' and Differentiation' sections, offering ideas tohelp you to do just that - build on what you have already done or adapt theactivity to suit differing abilities.
Allthe activities use commonly-available software and are available online so thatyou can make them your own and display them on your interactive whiteboard."
