Primary Review – Rationale
3.44 Even now, a reasonable grasp of ICT is needed in
education and employment, and it will become
increasingly important to command ICT skills to
prepare for technologies of the future.
3.45 To argue against the importance of ICT in the
primary curriculum is to ignore the increasing
digitisation of information worldwide.

Primary Review – Our Inheritance
Pupils to use Twitter and blogs in primary schools shake-up –
The Guardian:
“ The proposals would require: Children in England to leave
primary school familiar with blogging, podcasts, Wikipedia and
Twitter as sources of information and forms of communication.
They must gain "fluency" in handwriting and keyboard skills, and
learn how to use a spellchecker alongside how to spell.”
