Information and Communication Technology - Key stage 1
A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.
Pupils should be taught to:
-
understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
-
create and debug simple programs
-
use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs
-
use technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content
-
recognise common uses of information technology beyond school
-
use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies.
