Tasks, resources and constraints are managed competently. The student uses relevant ICTs. The student evaluates and justifies the relevance and suitability of the products developed and the processes used. The student develops effective designs that exhibit creativity or inventiveness. Tasks, resources and constraints are managed competently and efficiently. The student is discriminating in the choice and use of relevant ICTs. The student constructively evaluates and justifies the success, relevance and suitability of the products developed and the processes used. Working, Managing & Reflecting Process The student generates products that communicate some information. The student generates products that partially meet specified requirements. The products communicate information, using functional spelling and grammar. The student develops products that meet user and system requirements.
