Introduction

In order to ensure that the content is well matched to students’ needs, the Association for IT in Teacher Education (ITTE) has been involved from the outset, and all the authors are members of ITTE concerned with specialist ICT courses, together with teachers from their partner schools. The authors are at the leading edge of research into the teaching and learning of ICT as a subject, and the material draws on the best available information concerning student teachers’ needs and approaches to learning. The case studies and resources have been developed from the authors’ own teaching and experience, which covers nine successful secondary ICT initial teacher training courses.
