ICT

Aim

We aim to provide pupils with ICT skills and capabilities necessary to use and develop, together with the confidence to become self-reliant, independent learners throughout their lives.

Introduction

At Cromwell Community College, ICT is used extensively throughout the whole curriculum, with every subject area using ICT regularly in lessons to support learning. ICT enables pupils to

• access on-line learning materials • undertake Internet research and communicate via email • use findings appropriately • handle data • control devices • evaluate and improve work

It is also used to present findings, either for homework, class work or coursework, in a variety of media. This could be something as simple as a Word document print out, through to a multi-media presentation in PowerPoint or a website they have built. Pupils learn to communicate with their intended audiences using correct levels of language and by choosing the best media for the purpose.
