ICT

Our principle aim is to effect progression in ICT for students of all abilities. We strive to cultivate students' confidence in their ability to choose appropriate software tools and develop sensible solutions independently - "to take greater responsibility for their own learning".

Our three modes of progression within this growing autonomy are:

a) assisting students in overcoming unfamiliarity with potentially useful ICT tools;

b) encouraging discussion and formal review of how effectively an ICT tool has been used;

c) helping students become increasingly self sufficient in their selection decisions about when to use ICT tools in order to meet effectively a clearly identified need.
