There are a large number of frameworks relating to computer use in education. Some of these focus on specific components of computer use (eg talk around computers), whilst others attempt to look at a more holistic picture. The main focus of this site is on this latter group of 'holistic frameworks', though reference is made to more specific ones on the framework index page.

Given the large number of (holistic) frameworks relating to ICT in education it is useful to have a taxonomy, which will allow us to think of groups of frameworks rather than always having to deal with them individually.

The taxonomy can be linked in to criteria for evaluating ICT Practice frameworks and particularly the levels at which frameworks operate.
