With technology becoming more portable, implementing ICT across different subjects is now a lot easier. ICT Suites do not need to be booked; tablets turn on instantly, therefore no waiting for PC’s power-up; plus more and more edtech options to support integration across all subjects throughout the day.
In fact, there is a lot of stuff – possibly too much! We like to share resources, ideas, and activities here on ukedchat.com, but it can be a bit overwhelming to constantly be thinking about which resource to use for each subject. That’s where this new guide, written by Jon Audain – published by Bloomsbury – is perfect for teachers keen to embed ICT into their teaching and set up a whole school provision.
As well as step-by-step instructions on how to use a variety of technologies effectively, Audain covers e-safety and the digital child, planning and budgeting your provision, as well as how to use technology to support children with special educational needs.
Stephen Heppell, introduces the book, saying:
“[this book] is filled with sensible, pragmatic advice, from the way it helps teachers to self-rate themselves, through to its wonderfully grounded ‘here is a technology, why might you use it, what can you do approach’ to its recession-aware reference back to the costs of each technology…it is full of today’s advice, today’s technology and really helps today’s teachers build a properly digital school, right away.”
Jon Audain is a Senior Lecturer in Primary ICT and Winchester University, previously working as an Advanced Skills Teacher, applying his knowledge and experience in this book with:
- Ideas for supporting the new Computing curriculum to inform teachers of the technology available for them to use in the classroom.
- An ‘ICT ability’ self-diagnosis test with levelled content throughout the book for nervous beginners, enthusiastic learners, expert users and the ICT coordinators.
- Information on mobile apps to use in the classroom, information on e-safety and safeguarding children and technology for supporting children with special educational needs.
- Step by step cross curricular activities using a wealth of ICT, all written in the author’s down to earth and informal style.
