1. Cardiff North Public School
Scope and Sequence for Information Technologies
The importance of the role of technology in education is well recognised
throughout Australia. In order to be informed and active participants in
our changing society now and in the future, students will need to be self-
directed learners, able to identify issues, pose questions, synthesise
ideas and develop solutions to problems.
Computer-based technologies in the primary KLAs
NSW Department of Education & Training 1997 p11
Students at Cardiff North Public School will participate in activities that assist in the
development of their ability to:
Use information technologies to locate, access, evaluate, manipulate, create, store
and retrieve information.
Express ideas and communicate with others, using information technologies.
Develop an awareness of the range of applications of information technologies in
society.
Discriminate in the choice and use of information technologies for a given purpose.
Develop the confidence to explore, adapt and shape technological understandings
and skills in response to challenges now and in the future.
Type quickly and accurately.
The following Scope and Sequence may
appear to be similar in successive stages,
however, it must be noted that the degree
of complexity, the sophistication of
analysis or the level of independence in
the selection and use of information
technologies throughout the K-6
progression.
CNPS Technology Scope and Sequence 1
2. The Scope and Sequence for
Information Technologies
document consists of three
sections.
Syllabus outcomes/indicators
to information technologies
consists of a stage by stage
overview of the specific
outcomes and a sample of
indicators relating to
information technologies.
Section A consists of a K-6 index that illustrates when each skill should be:
a. Introduced by the teacher.
b. Reinforced by the teacher.
c. Student working independently.
Section B outlines the skills by grade and stage levels. Software application, stage level
projects, work samples and activities are also suggested in this section.
In both sections of the document, the scope and sequence for information technologies
is divided into the following content strands:
Basic Computer Skills
Word Processing Skills
Database and Spreadsheet Skills
Multimedia Skills
Internet, Intranet and Email Skills
