Information & Communication Technology Cont.
Students should learn to use ICT equipment and software confidently and
purposefully to communicate and handle information, and to support their
problem-solving, recording and expressive work. By following the ICT
Curriculum Students should learn to:
1. Use equipment and develop knowledge of ICT
• use a variety of ICT equipment and software, which may include various
kinds of computers and keyboards, as well as TV, DVD and video devices, as
well as music players and personal organisers, to carry out a variety of
functions in a range of contexts
• explore the use of computer systems and control technology in everyday
life
• examine and discuss their experiences of ICT and look at the use of ICT in
the outside world
2. Communicate using ICT
• begin to assemble text and pictures to communicate ideas in different
forms using words, tables, pictures and sound
• create, redraft and present ideas using text manipulation, laying out text,
checking for errors and correcting them
• utilise a paint or graphics package to present ideas
3. Handle Information using ICT
• explore and use a variety of methods to enter and store information onto a
computer
• classify information using ICT
• store, retrieve and process information that has been stored in a pre-
prepared database or spread sheet.
4. Measure and Control using ICT
• recognise that control is part of many everyday activities and devices
• give simple commands to control a device or virtual device
5. Model using ICT
• understand that computers can be used to represent real or fantasy
situations and that there is a difference between the representation and the
reality
• explore real or imaginary situations in computer simulations by making
decisions within a computer simulation which affect it
• give commands to an input device within a computer simulation
• investigate options within a simulation or game, posing questions or making
decisions.
