1.
Pupils should be
given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of
ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects (with the exception of
physical education at key stages 1 and 2) (at key stage 1, there are no
statutory requirements to teach the use of ICT in the programmes of study for
the non-core foundation subjects. Teachers should use their judgement to decide
where it is appropriate to teach the use of ICT across these subjects at key
stage 1. At other key stages, there are statutory requirements to use ICT in all
subjects, except physical education).
2.
Pupils should be given opportunities to support their work by being
taught to:
a)
find things out from a variety of
sources, selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and
developing an ability to question its accuracy, bias and plausibility
b) develop their ideas using
ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
c) exchange and share
information, both directly and through electronic media
d) review, modify and
evaluate their work, reflecting critically on its quality, as it progresses.
