Summary:
ICT InteraCT is a new course delivering everything teachers and students need for success at Key Stage 3. The series combines digital resources with Student's Activity Books and photocopiable Teacher's Packs.


ICT InteraCT is designed to help specialists and non-specialists alike deliver effective ICT to students at Key Stage 3. Placing an emphasis on relevant, scenario-based activities that promote problem solving through clearly levelled tasks, the resources provide:


- A stimulating, scenario-based approach

- Levelled assessments that are differentiated by task

- Teacher's guidance on how to assess the levels and map the contents of the course to the revised Programme of Study, STUs, QCA Scheme of Work and other initiatives, such as Every Child Matters

- Formative and summative assessment opportunities – including interactive tests

- Tasks that cover skills, knowledge and understanding to promote ICT capability

- Truly integrated print and electronic content



Powered by Dynamic Learning, the activities on the accompanying network CD-ROM are interactive versions of those that appear in the book, allowing the students to complete tasks on screen whilst using the activity book as a point of reference. The book also features activities that are designed for use with students when the IT suite is not available, reinforcing knowledge and understanding.

Each Student's Activity Book contains a single-user student's edition of the CD-ROM, featuring some of the material from the network edition, which can be used as the basis for homework tasks.

• Dynamic Learning digital resources are at the heart of this course. No other series blends print and digital to this degree.
• Features clearly differentiated (mini and maxi) tasks throughout. All of these cover specific NC levels, which no other course has done.
• By virtue of the problem-solving and scenario-based tasks (all levelled), students are incrementally and effectively prepared for the QCA onscreen test.
• The digital resources will feature interactive assessment for learning that tracks students' capability through simulation and not just closed question types.
• Every copy of the student's activity book comes with a single-user licence and CD-ROM powered by Dynamic Learning (required in addition to the Teacher CD).
