Content of ICT at Key Stage 3
In ICT, students acquire and apply knowledge and understanding of:
- The quality and reliability of information and how to access and combine increasing amounts of information;
- A range of increasingly complex tasks using a variety of ICT tools;
- How ICT can help their work in other subjects, developing their ability to judge when and how to use ICT and where it has limitations;
- The application and use of ICT in the outside world.
These are acquired through four aspects of ICT study:
- Finding things out;
- Developing ideas and making things happen;
- Exchanging and sharing information;
- Reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses.
