The National Assessment Program – ICT Literacy test assesses student ICT knowledge, understanding and skills, as well as students’ ability to use ICT creatively, critically and responsibly. In 2014 selected Year 6 students were asked to search a website to find appropriate material, format a document, crop an image and create a short slide show. Results from that assessment have indicated a need for a renewed focus on the teaching of digital technologies in schools. Schools now have access to the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies, which covers the core aspects of ICT literacy that are vital for students to engage in a world dependent on these technologies for future employment and social interaction.
