      Introduction

      ICT and the Primary Curriculum

      Today children will arrive at school with an extensive knowledge of ICT and its capabilities. They have a knowledge and understanding that can sometimes be beyond some adults. The aim in school today is to harness their experiences and use them to enhance their learning in school.

      ICT today is one of the best and fastest growing tools available for learning. It helps to:

      Make difficult and abstract concepts easier to explore

      Make learners partners in their formal learning

      Motivate learners and keep them engaged in learning

      Open up dialogue with parents and extend learning

      Personalise learning and give learners a voice

      Raise standards

      Reach the hard-to-reach.

      Save you time and be more efficient.

      In order for children to use and apply their ICT knowledge and understanding confidently and competently in their learning and everyday contexts, exciting and stimulating lessons must be provided.

      ICT is no longer viewed as a separate curriculum subject but permeates all the other subjects. The children should be provided with stimulating activities that allow them to explore and become familiar with the technology resources available in the school, across a wide range of different subject areas.

      About the series

      The ‘Using Stories to teach ICT’ series of books demonstrates how ICT skills can be taught and extended whilst linking to a wide variety of other subject areas. There are four books in the series - two at Key Stage 1 and two at Key Stage 2.

      They offer a structured approach with the non-specialist in mind and provide detailed lesson plans to teach specific ICT skills whilst linking to other areas of the curriculum. Each book contains ideas for communication, modelling, presentation, databases and control.

      The aim is for ICT to be presented in a format that shows how information technology is used in our everyday lives. The imaginary situations portrayed in the stories act as a stimulus for the children’s own investigations and creative work. The ideas in this series can be adapted to teach all areas of the curriculum.

      Format of the books

      Each book contains six stories that require the children to use and extend different ICT skills. Each story is accompanied by teachers’ notes containing four separate lessons that can be used in conjunction with the story. Every lesson plan has a corresponding activity sheet.

      The teachers’ notes are broken down into the learning objective and the curriculum links with some suggestions for the type of hardware and software that will need to be made available. The activities have been sub-divided into:

      Resources - this is a list of what you will need to do the lesson

      Introduction - ideas to introduce the activities, with key questions and discussion points to reinforce the concepts and vocabulary required for the lesson

      Main activity - ideas for grouping and using the activity sheets

      Plenary - an opportunity to review and discuss the learning outcomes so children reflect on what they have learnt

      Extension - further ideas to extend their skills and technological knowledge.

      The activity sheets can be found at the end of each chapter.

      About the stories

      The stories are designed to be a springboard to develop ICT within the classroom throughout a wide range of subjects due to the broad selection of cross-curricular links.

      If possible enlarge copies of the story or project it on to a whiteboard so the children are able to see the illustrations and may be able to follow along as you read it aloud to the class. As the children get older and their vocabulary improves, encourage the children to read the stories aloud to each other.

      There is a lot of scope for initiating a discussion about the wide range of technology used in our everyday lives and for extending from the given lesson ideas to your own ICT based projects.

      Using the lesson plans

      Within the planning we have added reference statements headed WALT, WILF and TIB as these or similar systems are often used to ensure lessons are focused, objective led and in context for the learner. They help summarise the purpose of the lesson, what is required of the children in order for them to successfully learn that lesson and why what they are learning is important.

      WALT stands for We Are Learning Today

      WILF stands for What I’m Looking For
