Opis

This guide helps the reader to improve the development of ICT capability through understanding the factors at work in whole school contexts. Based on research which examined schools' approaches to the development of pupils' ICT capability and identified the factors which lead to success, it provides practical advice, but with clear justifications in terms of well-researched principles and illustrations. It covers issues specific to both primary and secondary phases of education together, with a range of common concerns and will be of use to practitioners and school staff involved in planning and delivering ICT training.

Recenzje

'Developing the ICT Capable School is very much a here-and-now book that will appeal primarily to managers in schools. The authors show a clear understanding of the issues confronting school managers trying to evolve practice with ICT in the whole school. - Angela McFarlane, Times Educational Supplement
