Communications and Information Technology (C and IT) is part of everyday life, including education. For teachers, however, keeping up to date with the various technologies that help support the learning process can be challenging. This book meets those challenges by highlighting the benefits of C and IT in teaching and learning, and providing practical advice and real examples from a wide range of subject disciplines. Writing ina refreshingly accessible style, the author dispels common myths surrounding technology and offers pragmatic solutions that anyone can use or adapt, covering the use of: Overhead projectors and PowerPoint; Handouts; Videos and slides; Interactive Whiteboards; Electronic Information Resources and e-learning; This book demonstrates that with a little thought and preparation, C and IT can provide tangible benefits in the support of traditional teaching and will be essential reading for teachers, lecturers, staff developers and students in further and higher education.
