 Programme of study At Cansfield we follow the Key Stage 3 National Strategy. This scheme is designed with two key aims: - To allow students the opportunity to develop skills using a variety of software that will help them with their studies and future careers.
- To provide access to the National Curriculum entitlement in ICT.
What does this mean for students at Cansfield?
Through the Key Stage 3 strategy our students will become increasingly independent, discerning users of ICT. They will:- Develop an ability to judge when and how to use ICT. - Be able to make judgements about the quality and reliability of the products they have developed.
Engage in increasingly complex tasks with a clear focus, efficiency and rigour.
The strategy is organised into three themes, each of which is broken down into three key concepts:- | Finding things out | Developing ideas and making things happen | Exchanging and sharing | | Using data and information sources | Analysing and automating processes | Fitness for purpose | | Searching and selecting | Models and Modelling | Refining and presenting information | | Organising and investigating | Control and monitoring | Communicating |
ICT is developing links with Science and Modern Foreign Languages. Ways in which families can help Encourage children to use computers at home as often as possible that does not involve playing games. Encourage use of the computers in the Learning Resource Centre. Help the children to access information sources such as the Internet. Reinforce that research carried out on the Internet is not always reliable and without bias. Work with children to navigate sites to find specific information.
