What is the Global Classroom project? How do I use multimedia to enhance my teaching and my students' learning? Did someone say 'technophobia'? These and other questions serve as a springboard into creating a 'big picture' of current and emerging developments in information and communications technology (IT).[*] This paper discusses the origins and development of an inservice program designed primarily for teachers wishing to develop effective strategies in making use of computers in the classroom.
