Abstract/Summary

This paper presents evidence about expertise in teaching and the use of ICT (Information Communication Technology) to communicate information. Fifty four (54) expert teachers and teaching assistants from infant, primary and secondary schools participated in the study. Participants were nominated by their peers as 'outstanding' in their practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, exploring what technology experts have adapted to produce highly effective practice. The current study discusses the results of the demographic data, the technologies expert practitioners use in their teaching and their reasons for using these technologies.
