ICT Literacy

The ability to effectively utilize technology to communicate and access information is a required skill for success in the modern workplace. As teachers we are continually employing this skill. We email important contacts, research lesson resources, complete professional training and create, share and store documents and records every day. Our students should be capable of completing similar tasks using technology. ICT (Information, communications and technology) Literacy focuses on these skills.
