This Teacher's Guide accompanies the brand new student text written to meet the requirements of the new Applied GCSE course in ICT. Unlike other courses, the Applied ICT focuses on how ICT affects all forms of communication in society, bringing new ways of functioning, trading and doing business. The three units of the course cover the applications of ICT; how it is used in organisations; and its role in society. The Guide has five main sections; the first section contains suggested schemes of work and lesson planning sheets matching each unit of the course and referencing the activity sheets, support sheets and checklists in the later sections of the book which all link directly to the student book. The final section contains software support sheets for student use. There is a particular focus on assessment, with support for each of the assessment methods of the major awarding bodies (online, exam based and coursework).
