Using ICT is one of the three Cross-Curricular Skills at the heart of the curriculum. Developing children’s ICT skills encourages them to handle and communicate information, solve problems, pose questions and be creative in using digital technology.
The creative use of ICT can improve children’s thinking skills and encourage them to become independent, self-motivated and flexible learners.
Teachers in Dundela Infants' School develop children’s Using ICT skills by giving them opportunities to:
- engage in meaningful research and purposeful activities set in relevant contexts;
- process, present and exchange their ideas and translate their thinking into creative outcomes that show an awareness of audience and purpose; and
- use ICT to:
- handle and communicate information, solve problems, pose questions and take risks;
- collaborate within and beyond the classroom;
- share and exchange their work; and
- exhibit and showcase their learning
Pupils are also provided with opportunities to develop knowledge and understanding of E-safety andacceptable online behaviour. Please read the information on the E-safety section of the Website, which can be found under the Parents tab.
