What are ICT applications?
'ICT application' is a technical term for a standard computer program.  Common ICT applications are Wordprocessors, Desktop Publishing (DTP) software, Spreadsheets, Databases and Presentational software.

Teachers can made great use of standard ICT applications in their history lessons.  The online lessons in this section allow teachers to encourage the development of key ICT skills through the study of history.

Many schools make use of Microsoft Office with a standard set of applications that can be used by all:

Microsoft Word wordprocessor
Microsoft Publisher DTP software
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
Microsoft Access database
Microsoft PowerPoint presentation

As with other areas on this site, it is hoped that teachers will use the ideas available and then contribute with their own suggestions.
