What is ICT?
ICT brings together computers, electronic communications, video, multimedia and calculators
Why use ICT? ICT can enrich, enhance and support the curriculum
across all learning areas

Requirements for Using ICT set out under 5 ‘E’s:
Explore Express Exchange Evaluate Exhibit
Processes – not discrete areas of ICT Have replaced former strands
ICT in the Revised Curriculum
Explore is about…..looking for, finding, choosing and using information as well as using digital tools to investigate and solve problems. Pupils move from having resources provided for them to being more independent and discriminate users of ICT. This ‘E’ often forms the first part of work in which a pupil engages in.
Express is about…..pupils being creative,
developing and presenting their ideas using text, sound, music and still or moving images. It ranges from simple text, sound or pictures to the production of a multimedia product.
Exchange is about…..pupils collaborating with others online to share and develop their ideas. This can include sending an e-mail, participating in a video-conference, contributing to an online course or using collaborative online tools. Tasks with a strong Exchange focus can make a valuable contribution to the richness of pupils’ experiences of Explore and Express.
Evaluate is about…..pupils reflecting on their process and outcome, thinking about how they carried out the task and how they might improve upon what they did. Tasks with a strong problem solving focus can ensure more explicit coverage of this ‘E’.
Exhibit is about…..pupils managing and
showcasing their work digitally. It ranges from pupils printing and saving their work to organising and maintaining digital personalised areas.
