The intention is to free teachers up from restrictive ICT plans, enabling them to use their creativity to teach ICT in a way that inspires them and their children in a truly cross-curricular way. However, it is vital that the national curriculum is covered and that what is taught is of an appropriate standard: the plans give a structure for this.
There are nine areas of ICT to be covered during the year. What you do in these areas is up to you, although examples (and links to the Literacy and Mathematics Frameworks where relevant) are given. A list of suitable concept and skills objectives is given for each area, as are relevant level descriptors to aid planning for high standards and differentiation.
