The increased use of technology in all aspects of society means that confident, creative and productive use of ICT is an essential skill. Pupils must not only acquire technical skills, but understand how to apply these responsibly when learning, in everyday life and employment. This is an area where social, legal, ethical and economic implications of the use of ICT can be considered.
At Key Stage 3, pupils refine their search methods in the Finding Information aspect of the curriculum and select appropriate sources. They collect qualitative and quantitative information and enter this into software packages. The checking of accuracy is encouraged. In the Developing Ideas strand of the curriculum, pupils solve problems, develop models and create sequences of instructions that can be automated. In the Communicating Information strand, a range of ICT tools are used to present in forms that are fit for purpose, including the use of digital communications.
The resources in this section can be used to support teaching and learning across the strands of the National Curriculum.
