Written for the primary school teacher, this handbook explores two aspects of responsibility for information and communications technology (ICT): coordination and subject leadership. The author addresses the development of the different roles of the ICT coordinator, updating ICT subject knowledge, developing whole school policies, monitoring work within the school, and resources and contacts. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Specifically designed for busy teachers who have responsibility for co-ordinating a subject area within their primary school. Each volume in the series conforms to a concise style, while providing a wealth of tips, case studies and photocopiable material that teachers can use immediately. There are special volumes dedicated to dealing with OFSTED, creating whole school policy and the demands of co-ordinating several subjects within a small school. The entire set of 16 volumes is available.

Arvustused

'In summary, this book is comprehensive and extremely detailed, comprising a welcome blend of informed and authoritative discussion with an array of practical examples and suggestions for improving the use of computers in the Primary classroom. It is more than a handbook, but retains handbook qualities in that teachers can dip in and out with speedy comprehension of both content and context. ICT coordinators should like this book because it is neither forceful nor prescriptive.' - Journal for Computer Assisted Learning
