5 Using ICT to enhance subject teaching

An overview

The expectation is that pupils will have been taught in all nine key concepts of ICT
capability in their ICT lessons. This provides the foundation for the application and
further development of these ICT key concepts across the curriculum. The nine key
concepts are shown in the diagram below.

Although all ICT key concepts could be applied and developed in most subjects, some
are more significant than others. The four ICT key concepts, highlighted on the diagram
below, that have been identified as being particularly significant for English are:

• using data and information sources;


• searching and selecting;


• fitness for purpose;


• refining and presenting information.
