About this book

Designed for Key Stage One and Scottish Levels A-B, this text provides practical activities to develop children's Information Technology capability within meaningful contexts. The activities provide a clear framework for progression. The book includes sections on: communicating information; handling information; modelling; and control. The book is part of a practical activity-based series which can be used as a planning tool to help devise a comprehensive scheme of work, and as an accessible bank of ideas. The lesson plans target specific learning objectives and collectively provide a progressive coverage of the programmes of study. Photocopiable worksheets support many of the activities and save teacher time. Guidance for differentiation and formative assessment is incorporated throughout, with specific assessment lessons for summative purposes also included. IT applications and other cross-curricular links are highlighted, as are ideas for display.
