**Guidelines** The attached progressions are designed to guide planning for effective integration of Information Communication Skills into the class programme. Students will be provided with learning opportunities that allow them to use a range of skills and software applications including most, but not necessarily, all those listed. Class programmes will allow students to work at the stage appropriate to their skill level and progress though the skills at an individually appropriate pace. The expectations listed below are to be viewed as the minimum to be covered rather than all that may be done at a particular year level.
