This is the 5th in a series of publications illustrating how teachers have used ICT to support learning and teaching in their classrooms.

The activities have been developed as a collaborative exercise between teachers working in the same school, in different schools, and/or with advisory teachers working in Lewisham LA.

The process of development has been informed by techniques associated with action research methodology and involve:

1) identifying and planning an ICT activity within a subject context
2) identifying and evaluating suitable on-line resources
3) team teaching the activity in the classroom
4) pupils reflecting on and evaluating their own work
5) teachers reflecting on and evaluating the activity
6) teachers assessing pupils' work (through observation, talking to pupils and reading their write ups and print outs).

The activities span across the phases and curriculum subjects and cover a wide range of different technologies. For example: use of digital video in the nursery and primary classroom; interactive white boards to support teaching in both primary and secondary schools; video conferencing to facilitate discussion about a geography topic between two schools in different locations; using the Internet for citizenship research and the use of on-line learning to support learning between home and school. There are also examples of how teachers have adapted the primary QCA ICT units of work in the context of different curriculum subjects.
