Getting to Grips with It: A Teacher’s Guide to Information Technology

Synopsis

George is an older teacher who has no time for information technology: Andy is a young and earnest educational technologist. The film opens with them airing a good many of their respective shibboleths. They are replaced by a presenter who, from a neutral stance, attempts to define and illustrate the many ways in which computers and information technology are used in education. Looks at the likely course of events in the near future and closes with a final view from Andy and George.
