Despite the high profile of ICT in education, finding practical and meaningful ways to integrate ICT into lessons can be a difficult and overwhelming task. This book explores the use and potential of ICT in the secondary history curriculum, and offers theory and practical advice to help secondary history teachers use ICT effectively. Key areas covered are: getting started in ICT and history; short, medium and long-term planning; using ICT to develop historical understanding and skills; data handling in the history classroom; ICT and maps; and integrating virtual resources with the real world of teaching and learning. With contributions from academics and practitioners in history education, this book should be of value to all secondary history teachers and trainee teachers.
