This element involves students investigating questions, topics or problems using ICT.
Students use ICT to define and plan information searches of a range of primary and secondary sources. They locate, access, generate, organise and/or analyse data and information and apply criteria to verify the integrity and value of the digital data, information and sources using ICT. In developing and acting with ICT capability, students:
- define and plan information searches
- locate, generate and access data and information
- select and evaluate data and information.
