13. Primary National Strategy and Education ICT 13 “The evidence shows that ICT is used well to help the pupils extend their understanding in most areas of the curriculum. This is most pronounced in English where pupils regularly word process their work. However, it is also evident in subjects such as history and geography, where pupils, for example, have used the Internet to find information about topics such as rivers and the water cycle. In science, pupils have used ICT to support their work about the human body. There were also examples of pupils using ICT in art and design, design and technology and RE. ICT is well established in the pupils’ minds as a good method of helping their learning.” OFSTED report effective practice… A Somerset School during 2003-2004 “ICT is well established in the pupils’ minds as a good method of helping their learning.”
