Background
Recruitment to ICT initial teacher training courses (ITT) is now one of the single greatest recruitment challenges faced by the TDA. The TDA needed to raise the appeal of ICT and position it as one of the most exciting and evolving subjects you can teach. One common misconception about teaching ICT is that there's a lack of interaction with the children and you're stuck in front of the computer all day. In fact, it's very much the opposite. ICT as a subject promotes communication, collaboration and expression so teaching the subject means interacting with the children and using different applications to demonstrate how ICT can impact the world around us.
