Your use of ICT may involve little or no use of ICT by pupils and, consequently, may do
little to apply and develop their ICT capability. However, use of ICT as a medium of
teaching can enhance and stimulate the learning experiences of pupils and contribute
to the achievement of subject objectives. It is important to recognise the different
contributions that ICT can make to teaching and learning and to acknowledge the
importance of each.
