ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can be used primarily to support other areas of the curriculum, but with the caveat that all such work can be valuable to both. It explains the potential and the possibilities that may help teachers both to plan and to implement the use of ICT more effectively into their classrooms and into their teaching style. ICT can be used to support the development of language skills throughout a child's schooling. It can also be used to provide contexts and opportunities for the use of language that would be hard to achieve otherwise. ICT fits into the science curriculum in a variety of ways. While the current trend is away from foundation subjects and towards the 'basics', there is still a clear need, and legal requirement, to develop children's understanding of life beyond English, maths and science.
