"Students live in a rapidly changing technological world. Information and communication technology (ICT), including hardware and personal digital devices, software, and systems that manage, store, process, create, produce and communicate information, has become an important part of everyday life.

 

The integration of ICT capabilities in teaching, learning and assessment in NSW syllabuses can lead to enhanced outcomes for students, and:

• support the interactive process of teaching, learning and assessment in NSW schools

• develop the knowledge, skills, understanding, attitudes and behaviours to assist students to live and work successfully in the 21st century".
