"Humans are tool builders. We create things to amplify ourselves. The computer will rank at the top - it's the most awesome tool ever." - Steve Jobs
Computing Is...
The ability to use technology safely, responsibly and positively.
The computing curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:
- can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation
- can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve such problems
- can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems
- are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology
