Short course in ICT Basics for Teachers

SHORT COURSE IN ICT BASICS FOR TEACHERS

This short course consists of 11 worksheets focusing on email, the Internet and file management, which are designed to be printed out rather than used on-line. The course is intended for teachers who have begun using computers in their professional lives, but who feel the need to improve their basic skills.

I originally wrote these worksheets for a British Council course in the Czech Republic and have left them in the order in which they were written. There is therefore some sort of logical sequence but feel free to pick and choose if that seems more useful.

Anyone is free to use these worksheets, but please respect the copyright (property of the British Council, Czech Republic).
