Teachers provided feedback on the accessibility, usability and feasibility of the ICT Framework in a range of schools, during the 2006/2007 school year. The National Centre for Technology in Education (NCTE) played a key role in supporting this work with schools.  During the year, teachers received school-based support from the local ICT Advisors. In addition, the NCTE invited primary schools who achieved the Digital School Award status to generate further sample activities for the ACTION website showing the use of the ICT Framework in teaching and learning across a range of curriculum areas.
