ABSTRACT

Identifying opportunities for ICT across all the foundation subjects is a challenging task, as the wealth of different opportunities that ICT offers are appropriate to different subjects in different ways. In order to try to make sense of the similarities and differences in the ways ICT can relate to foundation subjects, this chapter is presented in two parts. The first is a brief overview of the range of opportunities that ICT might be considered to offer the Primary curriculum, including but going beyond the opportunities outlined in the National Curriculum and QCA Schemes of Work. The second section takes each foundation subject in turn and looks at the opportunities for ICT as suggested in each Scheme of Work, with further suggestions for development and investigation.
