      Introduction

      The aim of this resource is to provide teachers with a selection of activities which encourage learners to use a variety of ICT applications and thinking skills. The layout of the book, and the use of icons, means that it is possible to see at a glance which areas of the ICT curriculum are being addressed and which of the main thinking skills are involved.

      The five ICT areas covered in the book are:

      Creating, reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses

      Developing ideas through the available data

      Finding and sorting things out

      Sharing information

      Using data and making things happen.

      Flexibility is an important aspect of Thinking Skills ICT, and it enables some activities to address more than one ICT curriculum area. This is clearly indicated by the use of multiple icons.

      The five main thinking skills covered in the book are:

      Information Processing

      Enquiry Skills

      Reasoning Skills

      Creative Thinking

      Evaluation Skills.

      Each of the briefs has been broken down into the five thinking skills areas in order to ensure that all are utilised.

      Within any class it is possible that learners’ familiarity with, and aptitude for ICT could vary widely. Similarly, the ability to use particular thinking skills adeptly cannot automatically be linked to a specific age group or key stage. Therefore, Thinking Skills ICT allows teachers the freedom to decide which activities are best suited to their particular learners. Although ICT applications are suggested for each of the briefs, others may be substituted as necessary and each activity has scope for modification as the teacher sees fit.

      How to use Thinking Skills ICT

      The contents include descriptions of the briefs, together with icons linking each to the primary ICT curriculum.

      The activities to be carried out during each of the briefs
