ABSTRACT

There are several strands or facets of capability in the use of ICT in subject teaching (see Box 1.1), and most teachers are stronger in some strands than others. There are different ways of being ‘good at ICT’, but it is certainly not just a case of being accomplished in terms of technical capability, range of applications used, or amount of ICT use. In terms of a ‘bottom line’ in response to the question posed by the title, it might be the extent to which teachers exploit the potential of new technology to improve teaching and learning in history.
