The widespread introduction of information technology has had a huge impact throughout the secondary school, yet many schools still encounter problems in that IT is both a subject in itself and also a cross-curriculum skill. Moreover, faced with limited finance and staff skills and knowledge, achieving the necessary balance between the desirable and the practical can be difficult. This book gives guidance to managers and governors on how to formulate a whole school policy for IT, and how to develop strategies for managing IT effectively.
