Pupils
use ICT to save information and to find and use appropriate stored information,
following straightforward lines of enquiry. They use ICT to generate, develop, organise and present
their work. They share and
exchange their ideas with others. They use sequences of instructions to
control devices and achieve specific outcomes. They make appropriate choices
when using ICT-based models or simulations to help them find things out and
solve problems. They describe their use of ICT and its use outside school.
The next step for this work is to get the pupils to make their own report on their findings. To be able to write this information up in prose and illustrate it with pictures is a valuable skill. It might be in the form of a comparison between their school and the African school or that school and another African school.
