5 - 14 Information Technology
After the Christmas holidays, during the spring term of 1997-98, S1 and S2 pupils will be embarking on a new unit of work, directly related to 5-14 Information Technology (a National set of Guidelines).
The unit is concerned with knowledge and understanding of Information Technology and has four levels:-
- Level A - should be achieved by pupils in P1 -P3
- Level B/C - should be achieved by pupils in P4 -P6
- Level D/CE- should be achieved by pupils in P7 -S2
- Beyond Level E - is for high fliers and includes some Standard Grade work.
Before the unit starts, pupils will be tested to establish the level they should start at. They will then be given a period of time to work towards improving that level.
Each unit of work consists of:-
completing a basic guide using information provided on our Intranet;
doing some exercises related to the information in their basic guide
sitting and end of level test.
If they pass the test, they can continue with the next level up.
