Teachers are now expected to use technology to enhance students' learning, but what does this mean in the classroom and how can you apply it effectively to subject teaching?

This book, for pre-service and qualified teachers, offers you a guide for using technology in primary and secondary schools, including how to decide which technology resource to use, safeguarding and ethical considerations and computer coding in the classroom.

Key features include:

- Classroom scenarios which tackle common challenges faced by teachers and how to resolve them

- Examples of best practice technology use in early childhood settings, primary and secondary classrooms

- A future-proofed approach focusing on theory-informed best practice in an ever-changing world of devices and software
