b. Deciding Whether to Use ICT

There seems to be a range of options for dealing with this topic. The teacher could:

• Use a word processor package to create worksheets on the area of work, and simply provide the worksheets to pupils and have them work from this collection of information.
• Use a CD-ROM to gain access to, retrieve and store background material - either general material such as can be found on typical encyclopædias, or more focussed resources in CD subject-specific collections.
• Use the World Wide Web to find and structure resources.
• Combine all three of the above, and have pupils themselves find the information and put it into a word processed form.

See the next page for my view of how these options could be considered.
