<p>This unit is the first in a sequence of two designed to enable undergraduate pre-service teachers to develop critical understandings of the importance of information technologies in relation to school curriculum policies and frameworks in secondary school Year 7 to 10 contexts. It will enable pre- service teachers to utilise information technology in a range of learning settings. They will design curriculum and examine and implement a range of teaching approaches deriving from emerging technologies. Pre-service teachers will develop their understandings of ethical and social issues involved in using ICT in schools and be able to evaluate the place of Information Technology curriculum in different school contexts.</p>
