At the end of this unit
most pupils will: select information needed for different purposes, check its accuracy and organise and prepare it in a form suitable for processing; use ICT to structure, refine and present information in different forms and styles for specific purposes and audiences; exchange information and ideas with others in a variety of ways including the use of e-mail and explore the effects of changing the variables in an ICT-based model; discuss their knowledge and experience of using ICT, its use outside school, and assess its use in working practices
some pupils will not have made so much progress and will: develop and refine work, using information from a range of sources; use ICT-based models to make predictions, vary the rules within them and assess the validity of these models; discuss the application of ICT-based solutions to aspects of the world of work
some pupils will have progressed further and will: combine information from a variety of ICT-based and other sources for display and presentation to different audiences; select and use suitable information systems, translating enquiries expressed in ordinary language into forms required by a system; design ICT-based models and procedures, with variables, in order to meet identified needs and consider the limitations of ICT tools and information sources and the results they produce; discuss the wider use of ICT in an informed way
