Overview

Since the Role of IT was first published in 1995, there have been numerous developments in the perception and practice of IT, not least the addition of Communication to the acronym. Although the potential of the Internet, email and the World Wide Web had been recognized at this stage, in practice such aids were of only minimal significance to teachers. Today, ICT lies at the heart of policy-making in education. This change in attitude forms the basis of this fully up-dated second edition.

Reviews

In 'The Role of ICT,' Loveless takes a thoughtful look at technology and its impact... Loveless builds a convincing argument to claim that ICT capability in the twenty-first century has moved beyond the technology to become and issue of teaching and learning, influenced by factors beyond the classroom.... Loveless puts forward a number of powerful themes.... From beginning to end, Loveless' book reflects a delightful integration of research and practical experience. She seamlessly weaves concrete examples for teachers through the ideas and investigations of forward thinkers and through progressive ways of thinking about ICT capability.... The research supporting the themes and examples is solid. Loveless is clearly familiar with the literature and research in the field. The bibliography alone would be valuable as a reading list for ICT and education.... The ways of thinking about ICT capability presented throughout the book represent the exciting transformations of ICT and pedagogical practices that are happening in many venues around the world. -Gail Kopp, Canadian Journal of Education, Vol. 27, No. 2&3, 2002
