ICT Framework Learning Opportunities
Learning Opportunities have been identified for outcomes in the ICT Framework. These are outlined for three levels of achievement to correspond with junior classes in primary school, senior classes in primary school, and Junior Cycle. Learning opportunities are described at these three levels to support teachers in planning upward continuity and progression in students' use of ICT to support learning and assessment.
The learning opportunities are essentially short statements of what learning would involve, or what it might look like for each outcome and level. These are flexible rather than exhaustive. As the ICT Framework is designed to be an enabling framework for teachers and students, these learning opportunities are described as a guide to teachers. They include reference to specific learning activities and resources which are further elaborated in the glossary. As noted at the outset, use of the ICT Framework, including provision of appropriate Learning Opportunities, will vary from school to school depending on a range of school factors including access to ICT equipment and resources, teacher competence and confidence with ICT and a school's level and stage of planning for ICT in curriculum and assessment.
The learning opportunities are described for each objective in the matrix below.
