How does ‘The Ultimate Guide To Using ICT Across The
Curriculum for Primary Teachers’
With the implementation of the new Computing curriculum looming (September 2014), there are
constant challenges to explore how old schemes, ideas and planning can be used. There are
sections of the book where you can find different information that could help you with different
areas of the curriculum.
The new guidance for the computing curriculum can be located on the Department for Education
website (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-computingprogrammes-of-study/national-curriculum-in-england-computing-programmes-of-study). Don’t
forget that whilst the book has some information to address the new curriculum, its aims are much
broader so you will find lots of help to across all aspects of ICT

understand what algorithms are, how they are
implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs
execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
create and debug simple programs
use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs

Chapter 10 – Protecting the digital child
use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information
private; identify where to go for help and support when they have
concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online
technologies
Key stage 2 Computing Curriculum
Area of the Computing Curriculum
design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals,
including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems
by decomposing them into smaller parts
use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with
variables and various forms of input and output
use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work
and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
understand computer networks, including the internet; how they can
provide multiple services, such as the World Wide Web, and the
opportunities they offer for communication and collaboration
use search technologies effectively, appreciate how results are
selected and ranked, and be discerning in evaluating digital content
select, use and combine a variety of software (including internet
services) on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of
programs, systems and content that accomplish given goals, including
collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information
use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise
acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to
report concerns about content and contact
Some information about the Computing Curriculum is provided in this chapter in
preparation for the 2014 Computing Curriculum. Currently, there are many books in the
process of being written solely in relation to this subject so look out for these as well as
