tools and of the results they produce, and use the concepts and relevant
technical terms associated with ICT systems and software.

constructing ICT

procedures
• consider the limitations of ICT tools and information sources, and of the
results they

provide, and compare their effectiveness and efficiency with other methods

• discuss some of the social, economic, ethical and moral issues raised by ICT

2. Communicate and handle information using ICT
• use a range of ICT equipment and software efficiently to create good quality
