Notes to Teachers / Facilitators:

Successful completion of activities, will require that students are fully supported by teachers /
home school facilitators who should ensure that:

• The required hardware and software are in place to achieve course objectives.

• Students have access to either an on-line or off-line version of Scratch, as this is the
programming language recommended for module on Coding.
.
• In order to get a basic appreciation for the operations of productivity software tools
discussed in module 5 “What is Software”, students should have access to application
packages such as Microsoft Office or alternatively Google Docs equivalent.

• Students have access to the physical hardware components of a computer system, and or
opportunities to observe the use of Information and Communication Technologies devices
through other interactions.

Teaching order:

It is recommended that students complete Grades 1-3 including the final course quiz, prior to
beginning Grades 4-6.

There are 9 modules in Grades 1-3 and 7 in Grades 4-6, each module concludes with a module
quiz, there is also a final quiz at the end of each course. The average contact time per lesson is

approximately 20-30 minutes, however, additional time may be required to complete class hands
on practice exercises (e.g. using applications) guided by the teacher or home school facilitators.

It is also recommended that the course material be taught in the sequence as presented, however,
teachers and home school facilitators may choose to use the material based on the needs of their
student(s) and other topics or events that are happening throughout the school year, to make use

of any cross-curricular links wherever possible.
