What is the Practical Support Pack?

The Practical Support Pack is an online collection of high quality lesson content, lesson plans, multimedia resources and ICT support materials designed to help teachers develop their teaching practice using ICT.

Step-by-step it gives teaching professionals the opportunity to try out new ideas and new ways of teaching familiar topics in their subject. It also shows the role that ICT can play in achieving learning and teaching objectives. This practical approach to subject teaching also offers pupils different ways of learning. Teachers can reflect back on the lesson and see how the ICT element has affected their teaching and the pupils' learning.

The Practical Support Pack covers all secondary national curriculum subjects for Key Stage 3, and primary literacy and mathematics.
