"What a useful book to any ICT Co-ordinator. Like many ICT Co-ordinators I acquired the position by being confident enough to use computers with the children in my NQT year. I was duly appointed in my first year as the ICT Co-ordinator. I had to review the Policy and Scheme of work in a subject that I had received little advice from my training institute. This book rescued me and has become an invaluable resource. A must-have to experienced and frightened Co-ordinators looking for advice on Schemes and resources. Thank you, Terry."
Janet Nock, writing on the Amazon UK website.

"the book has been a lifeline and has go tme through a very successful Ofsted where our ICT had improved greatly"
Janet Nock, in a personal email.

"This book puts ICT into perspective, and demonstrates excellent
organisational techniques and strategies which can be developed over time to suit individual schools. It offers pro forma documents for
classroom management and organisation, as well as practical and
useful solutions to ICT development and planning.  Despite its UK
bias, this book offers a great deal to the ICT co-ordinator at any
school."

Cathy Brown, author the email newsletter Virtual Teacher.

"This is an excellent text for anyone wanting to know how to go about being an ICT coordinator. It is clearly laid out, written in a jargon free manner and has a good appendix full of useful web sites and printed document resources."
Ben Franklin, Mirandanet newsletter

"I've convinced three people to buy your book, and as soon as I can  spend my lottery income I'm going to get it for all our IT co-ordinators. I lent it to our early years inspector because she was having a problem in a link school and needed to know more about the work involved in the co-ordinator role. Her comment to me was that she felt she could have learnt to be a co-ordinator from your book - she was gushing!"
Penny Patterson, IT Consultant and Advisory Teacher

"The book has a brevity of style, a clarity of vision and a sense of the practicality of almost the whole range of issues familiar to any practitioner in the rapidly changing world of IT. As a good read or standby reference, this book is good value and a must for those managers of IT who feel they are running uncomfortably quickly trying to keep up with all these developments and issues. "Managing ICT" will provide a welcome breather, helpful tips, food for thought and welcome support in moments of rapid change and breathlessness. "
Graham Marshment, Managing Schools Today

"This is the first time I have seen a book which has attempted to address the scale of what is involved in being an IT co-ordinator.  This book needs to be read by every senior manager and education minister!  My only gripe by the way is that you don't attempt to say HOW MUCH time all this requires."
J S Walters, Informatics Co-ordinator, High Tunstall School, Hartlepool

"What is really pleasing is that the author avoids a narrow technological perspective and combines the people and curriculum issues with technological considerations, giving a holistic view of ICT management. Whether you read it from cover to cover or use it for reference, Managing ICT represents little outlay for a lot of help."
Les Dawson, Times Educational Supplement

"A new book from Hodder, Managing ICT by Terry Freedman, addresses all the issues facing ICT managers today, from outlining the personal skills desirable in a manager through to advice on training colleagues, assessment and examples of best practice. Essential reading for anyone establishing an ICT policy or interested in raising or monitoring pupils' ICT skills."

"Very practical."
John Potter, Lecturer in Teacher Training and Mirandanet Fellow

"This would certainly be a useful book for the new secondary school ICT co-ordinator and might be useful for primary school colleagues, but in addition would make an excellent text to help support the training of those following a PGCE or similar course."
Neil Stanley, Computer Education

"Our tutorial supremo Terry Freedman is the man behind "Managing ICT". His book examines information and communication technology and how to manage its role in schools."
