The KS3 draft map below assumes that 36 hours a year is devoted toICT curriculum at KS3. The units could be taught in ICT focusedlessons, by subject department teams or a mixture of both (dependingon the curriculum model adopted by the school)

NC 2000 ICT aspects	Terms	Yr 7	Yr 8	Yr 9
Finding things out	Term 1	Introduction to school ICT network and good practice policy Simple searches using the Internet & CD-ROMS spreadsheets for creating charts	More complex searching using the Internet & CD-ROMS Database project for simple survey work	Several integrated units, which include differentiatedactivities, in preparation for GCSE KS4 project work
Developing ideas and making things happen	Term 2	spreadsheets for simple calculations Logo for control and modelling	spreadsheets for modelling problems simple datalogging & control (including feedback)
Exchanging and sharing information	Term 3	e-mail to communicate with others graphics with both painting and drawing software word processing - manipulating text and handling several pages of text	electronic and video conferencing to discuss issues with others desk top publishing for creation of a class news sheet simple web publishing to publish work
Reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses	Reflecting and writing up work critically using word processing, Hypermedia or Web Publishing

The KS4 draft map below indicates how pupils might continue todevelop their use of ICT in the context of NC subjects and GCSEcoursework. Linking particular software packages to subjects is notexclusive as some subjects will make use of a wider range than isindicated below. It is also anticipated that the majority of subjectteachers will use the Internet for research and e-mail forcommunication to support teaching and learning. The 'Finding thingsout' aspect at KS4 is different to KS3 in that it requires theanalysis of systems. It is anticipated that this would need to betaught by ICT specialists as part of a GCSE or equivalent course.
