Inquiring with ICTs
Students explore, select and use ICTs in the processes of inquiry and research across key learning
areas. They:
• identify the inquiry focus, data and information requirements and possible digital information
sources
• plan, conduct and manage structured searches and advanced searches for data and information
in response to questions
• evaluate data and information gathered for usefulness, credibility, relevance, accuracy and
completeness
• reflect on, analyse and evaluate how ICTs have assisted in meeting the inquiry purposes and in
developing new understandings.
Creating with ICTs
Students experiment with, select and use ICTs to create a range of responses to suit the purpose
and audience. They use ICTs to develop understanding, demonstrate creativity, thinking, learning,
collaboration and communication across key learning areas. They:
• express and creatively represent ideas, information and thinking
• creatively document and present their planning, thinking and learning using a combination of
media
Communicating with ICTs
Students experiment with, select and use ICTs across key learning areas to collaborate and enhance
communication with individuals, groups or wider audiences in local and global contexts for an
identified purpose and audience. They:
• collaborate, develop, organise and present new ideas
• apply suitable or agreed communication conventions and protocols
• select and apply a variety of digital media to improve communication
Operating ICTs
Students use a range of advanced ICT functions and applications across key learning areas to
inquire, create, collaborate and communicate, and to manage information and data. They:
• develop operational skills and begin to use the extended functionality of a range of ICT devices
• apply operational conventions when using ICTs
• develop strategies for learning new ICT operations and consider different ways to perform tasks
• reflect on, analyse and evaluate their operational skills to meet the requirements of system
resources, processes and conventions.
