Managing Information Technology in secondary schools

All schools should have a whole school policy for the effective use of IT across all subjects. This book, aimed principally at secondary schools, is designed to help schools devise and implement an IT policy. The book considers how the IT curriculum, assessment, recording and reporting, and hardware and software resources can be organised and managed effectively. It also explores the impact of various models of the IT curriculum, new GCSE IT syllabuses and the use of the Internet.
The book includes details of training activities that are suitable for INSET, and for use in teacher training. These are designed to heighten awareness of IT issues, including the extent to which IT should be embedded in the curriculum and the roles and responsibilities of those who manage IT in secondary schools. It will be useful to all those involved in the management and use of IT in secondary schools, particularly IT co-ordinators, student teachers and advisers. It will also help governors and senior managers who are concerned that the organisation of IT should be effective and efficient.
