Some years ago I was approached to write a chapter in a book for beginning teachers on the use of ICT, (Information and Communication Technologies), in science. As I began to ponder on how I should structure the chapter I came across an article that noted that there was quite a lot of commonality in the terminology of both these pursuits. Accordingly I decided to use these terms to structure my chapter.

Having committed my thoughts to paper I soon found that much of the ICT content, (and indeed some of the science), was soon quite dated. Over time this process has continued apace. In order to accommodate these changes and also enable easier access to the hyperlinks I have now decided to revise the content of these original musings and create this wiki based presentation.

The original chapter headings are used as the wiki pages around which the content is organised. Some of the hyperlinks contained in the wiki take you off-site whilst others link to original documents. Many of the links will take you to an online storage space. These documents can be downloaded for use.
