The Oxfordshire ICT Scheme of work Year 2

Everything Bold is the statutory links from other NC subjects 
Everything Italic is a suggested subject link through which an aspect ICT could be taught

You have to decide when you are teaching the various components – some are short tasks, other may take several weeks. Many of them will slot easily into your rolling programme – other sections may require discrete ICT teaching.

Any activities on this sheet can have your own substitutions slotted in to fit your topic – a blank scheme outline where you can build in all of your own activities is available.
