Using ICT is one of the three Cross-Curricular Skills at the heart of the curriculum. Developing children’s digital skills encourages them to handle and communicate information, solve problems, pose questions and be creative in using digital technology.

It’s important that children develop their technical skills in a range of different types of ICT, such as:

• publishing;
• presenting;
• coding;
• managing data;
• art and design;
• music and sound; and
• film and animation.

The emphasis in Using ICT is on children using digital skills appropriately while engaging in meaningful and purposeful activities. Activities and development of these skills will be cross-curricular.
