PGCE Primary ICT (PGCE Professional Workbooks Series)

by JohnPotter (Author)

Synopsis

Initial teacher training is the first stage in your professional development as a teacher. This book will support you in identifying strengths and areas for further development, and help you meet the Professional Standards for the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Providing a combination of theoretical study and practical experiences, it will help you develop as a reflective and critical practitioner. This workbook contains a framework of activities within which you can develop as a confident user of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in primary teaching. It will help you analyse your needs and undertake tasks that are appropriate to your stage of development as a teacher. The Professional Standards for QTS require you to develop in three separate but related areas of ICT: a set of skills for your professional use; knowledge and understanding of ICT in the teaching of all other subjects; knowledge and understanding of ICT as a discrete subject in the National Curriculum. The flexible structure of this book will support trainees on a variety of training routes including employment-based, flexible, modular, part-time and full-time PGCE courses.
