Constantly evolving, Information Technology (IT) is entwined with everyday life, affecting industry, education, security, the environment, the global economy and culture. IT teachers need to balance students' understanding of IT's role within society alongside developing the skills required to design and deliver successful IT projects. Through case studies and reflective activities drawn from a range of environments, the authors share successful teaching and learning strategies from IT teachers and industry practitioners. This book also presents strategies for delivery and assessment, as well as reviewing functional and key skills, such as communications, team working and problem solving. It also helps teachers differentiate between the many IT qualifications. This text supports trainee and experienced teachers in developing exciting and engaging IT programmes for pupils 14+ whether they are learning in schools, adult and community education or colleges.

Once assumed to be a driver or even cause of conflict, commemoration during Ireland's Decade of Centenaries came to occupy a central place in peacebuilding efforts. The inclusive and cross-communal reorientation of commemoration, particularly of the First World War, has been widely heralded as signifying new forms of reconciliation and a greater "maturity" in relationships between Ireland and the UK and between Unionists and Nationalists in Northern Ireland. In this study, Jonathan Evershed interrogates the particular and implicitly political claims about the nature of history, memory, and commemoration that define and sustain these assertions, and explores some of the hidden and countervailing transcripts that underwrite and disrupt them. Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Belfast, Evershed explores Ulster Loyalist commemoration of the Battle of the Somme, its conflicted politics, and its confrontation with official commemorative discourse and practice during the Decade of Centenaries. He investigates how and why the myriad social, political, cultural, and economic changes that have defined postconflict Northern Ireland have been experienced by Loyalists as a culture war, and how commemoration is the means by which they confront and challenge the perceived erosion of their identity. He reveals the ways in which this brings Loyalists into conflict not only with the politics of Irish Nationalism, but with the "peacebuilding" state and, crucially, with each other. He demonstrates how commemoration works to reproduce the intracommunal conflicts that it claims to have overcome and interrogates its nuanced (and perhaps counterintuitive) function in conflict transformation.
