Sign up for Information Technology and Digital Literacy Progression, Assessment and Pedagogy 23-24 (Webinar) – 12 May 2023
This course really digs into Information Technology in primary schools and is designed to help you design or revise your own curriculum.
This course looks in more detail at skills progression and the connections between different areas of IT which often get missed when computing leads are planning IT schemes of work.
We also explore different ways of thinking about IT which can inform what IT schools choose to teach. We also focus on manageable ways of assessing IT.
IT in the Computing National Curriculum is defined as:
KS1 - Pupils should be taught to use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content.
Pupils should be taught to recognise common uses of information technology beyond school.
KS2 - Pupils should be taught to use search technologies effectively.
Pupils should be taught to select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information.
