ABSTRACT
A consistent picture which emerges from earlier chapters of the book is the role of the teacher in exploiting multimedia effectively in the classroom. Past work on professional development and IT (e.g. Bliss et al. 1986; Ellam and Wellington 1986; Scaife and Wellington 1993) has highlighted the difficulties that teachers have in introducing IT into their teaching. This work has illustrated the importance of understanding the teacher perspective on both technology and change.
