ICT and Curriculum for Excellence
Curriculum for Excellence has unified a set of purposes and principles for the whole curriculum to enable young people to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. Developing these four capacities will depend on the environment in which children learn, their choice of learning and teaching approaches and how their learning is organised.
In this section, you will find examples and evidence of research demonstrating how young people are already acquiring a full range of skills and abilities through the use of ICT.
