Level 1
Pupils use ICT to assemble text and symbols to help them communicate ideas. They explore information held on ICT systems, showing an awareness that information exists in a variety of forms.
Level 2
Pupils use ICT to help them generate and communicate ideas in different forms, such as text, tables, pictures and sound. With some support, they retrieve and store work. They use ICT to sort and classify information and to present their findings. They use ICT-based models or simulations to investigate options as they explore aspects of real and imaginary situations.
Level 3
Pupils use ICT to generate, amend, organise and present ideas. They use ICT to save data and to access stored information, following straightforward lines of enquiry. They use ICT-based models or simulations to help them make decisions, and are aware of the consequences of their choices. They describe their use of ICT, and its use in the outside world.
Level 4
Pupils use ICT to share, exchange and combine different forms of information, and show an awareness of audience. They add to, amend and interrogate information that has been stored. They understand the need for care in framing questions when collecting, accessing and interrogating information. Pupils interpret their findings, question plausibility and recognise that poor quality information yields unreliable results. They use ICT-based models and simulations to explore patterns and relationships, and make simple predictions about the consequences of their decision making. They compare their use of ICT with other methods.
Level 5
Pupils use ICT to organise, refine, share, exchange and present information in different forms and styles for specific purposes and audiences. They select the information needed for different purposes, check its accuracy and organise and prepare it in a form suitable for processing using ICT. They explore the effects of changing the
variables in a computer model. They communicate their knowledge and experience of using ICT and assess its use in their working practices.
