DFEE (1999p96) 'Information and communication technology (ICT) prepares pupils to participate in a rapidly changing world in which work and other activities are increasingly transformed by access to varied and developing technology'


 * The DFEE summarizes the mains objectives that pupils will learn during each Key Stage. For ICT they stat that: **

During Key Stage 1 pupils explore ICT and learn to use it confidently and with purpose to achieve specific outcomes. They start to use ICT to develope their ideas and record their creative work.They become familiar with hardware and software.

During Key Stage 2 pupils use a wider range of ICTtools and information sources to support their workin other subjects. They develop their research skills and decided what information is appropriate for their work. They begin to question the plausibility and quality of information. They learn how to amend their work and present it in a way thats suits its audience.

Their are 8 different levels for assessment,and an exception level. In my setting the children complete a self assessment grid. When they are more competent they go back to the grid and change the tabs. When the self assessment is completed at the end of the year they are given a level that they are working within.



We have in the past produced an ICT skills record book.
