Non-statutory national framework - ICT in RE
The non-statutory framework contains the following encouragement to use ICT in RE lessons:
1. Pupils should be given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects.
2. Pupils should be given opportunities to support their work by being taught to:
- find things out from a variety of sources, selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy, bias and plausibility;
- develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy;
- exchange and share information, both directly and through electronic media;
- review, modify and evaluate their work, reflecting critically on its quality, as it progresses.
In the context of religious education pupils can enhance their ICT skills by:
- making use of the internet to explore religious beliefs and practices, ultimate questions and ethical issues;
- using email to correspond with members of faith communities and spiritual traditions across the world.
