ABSTRACT
This chapter provides practical help and advice on how to manage teachers’ time as an IT coordinator, on how to offer valuable support for their colleagues and on how to promote what they want to achieve without turning everyone else off. IT is part of the curriculum teachers must deliver. As computers and software become more complex, staff need even more time to become familiar with the basics before they can begin to see the possibilities. Staff need to use equipment if they are to become familiar with it. Instructions for using equipment need to be easy to find and to follow. Support materials are everything from screen wipes to SCSI cables, but focus primarily on helping teachers implement the IT scheme of work effectively, and they are virtually essential if the staff in the school are less than utterly obsessed by the relative benefits of C++ over Java.
