The aim of the document is to provide examples of learning activities and how they can be incorporated into a range of contexts at early, first and second level.

The document lists the experiences and outcomes in the left-hand column with suggested learning activities in the right-hand column.

These examples are not exhaustive and are only to illustrate how educators can include the digital literacy and computing science experiences and outcomes into cross-curricular contexts.

  2. Do you know the level of digital literacy learners come to you with?
  3. How confident are you when using digital technology in your lessons?
  4. How well do your learners make use of high-quality resources and equipment, including digital technologies?
