The developments in ICT over the past two decades possibly represent the greatest opportunities for and challenges to the formal educational process. This article inevitably takes a fairly conservative view since it assumes that schools and teachers will continue to operate in the medium term in the same way they do now, however it provides a comprehensive review of the skills required of the trainee teacher preparing to go into schools where the provision and use of computers and other ICT resources can be highly variable between different institutions. Detailed insight is given regarding the training processes operating within particular institutions and downloads are provided of teaching materials used - to provide stimulating ideas that may be adapted (or rejected) for use elsewhere. A wide range of references is given for reflecting on, accessing and evaluating the use of electronic whiteboards, PowerPoint, spreadsheets and modelling, datalogging and using the internet.
