The world of information technology is diverse, impacting on, driving and supporting westernised business and industry as well as affecting every individual. Teachers of IT need to ensure that students recognise and understand why information technology is so important to business and society, as well as helping them to develop functional skills. Teaching Information Technology 14+ helps teachers of IT do just that. It explores the nature of Information Technology (IT), describes some of the current issues and debates surrounding IT and suggests appropriate strategies for successful learning and assessment. In addition to providing teachers with support in differentiating between the numerous Information Technology qualifications, it also includes some examples of relevant teaching and learning strategies and includes case studies and quotations from successful IT teachers and industry practitioners, drawn from a range of environments to highlight key concepts. Teaching Information Technology 14+ is not designed simply as another resource book, but as a means to engage students in the wider aspects of IT through the inclusion of reflective questions, encouraging readers to research and debate the place of IT today.

This practical and accessible workbook is designed to support student-teachers, NQTs and beginning teachers as they develop their teaching skills, and increase their broader knowledge and understanding for teaching design and technology.
