Using email and searching for information on the Internet is important for teachers personally.
It is also important that they can assist students in these basic literacy skills. As schools begin to
set up their own Intranets, this unit becomes even more relevant.
It is critical that teachers set good examples for students with respect to such ICT issues as privacy,
copyright, backing up of data, and virus protection. Teachers in all subjects need to be role
models.
It is part of a teacher's professional development and attitude to know about changes with
respect to ICT in the profession, and in a teacher's own subject area, as well as in the general
work force that students will enter.
