Introduction to ICT Framework Solutions

This suite of straightforward, easy-to-manage resources links the QCA Scheme of Work and the DfES Sample Teaching Units, to provide the best materials for teaching the ICT National Strategy.

Thorough coverage of the yearly teaching objectives in the Key Stage 3 Framework for Teaching ICT Capability is provided.

The series comprises a Student Book and Teacher Support Pack and CD-ROM for each Year.

Each of the DfES units are covered and every unit in the book begins with a lesson on background theory to give students an understanding of what they are about to learn.
