Curriculum Leaflets

I have finished my curriculum overview for ICT within KS1 and KS2. This has become two separate leaflets that, I hope, show a progression of skills accross the two areas. I still need to add the area for suggested software and links but this is an ever changing list.

I have uploaded the KS2 leaflet in the past but will include them both here for neatness.

It is my aim that all of my curriculum documents will have the same colour coding system to show the key strands of work within ICT. Mobile ICT, Researching and Communicating, Combining Text and Images, Multimedia and Programming / Computing.

Creating A Scheme Of Work That All Can Take Part In

Recently I was asked to present to our governors on ICT within my school. This was an excellent opportunity to show off a little and present to them what we actually do in lessons.

As part of the process of creating this process, however, I was needed to create recommendations about where we should take ICT next. At this point I realised a lot about how my current scheme of work stands separate from much of the ICT going on around the school. This may not be a huge issue, but there are some cross-overs of knowledge and there are certainly tasks that other staff members would, I hope, love to use in order to enhance their topic work.

As such, combined with the curriculum leaflets I have been creating as an overview of ICT and what it means, I have begun to make an A4 page for each unit of work. This will hopefully make a small folder that other staff members can look at and gain ideas from, or at the very least, easily digest the extent of the skills possessed by our children.

I will upload some examples, the aim is to have a very brief page that highlights why I am teaching each skills and also possible applications for it.

These will hopefully be working documents that could include a second page to show where they begin to be taught throughout the school.

Below is the blank form, to save anybody that likes the idea, the work.
