The document lists the experiences and outcomes in the left-hand column with suggested learning activities in the right-hand column.
These examples are not exhaustive and are only to illustrate how educators can include the digital literacy and computing science experiences and outcomes into cross-curricular contexts.
Improvement questions
How confident are you that the experiences you are providing for learners allow them to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding outlined in the curriculum guidance?
Do you know the level of digital literacy learners come to you with?
How confident are you when using digital technology in your lessons?
How well do your learners make use of high-quality resources and equipment, including digital technologies?

This document outlines the features of high-quality digital learning experiences for all children and young people. It highlights the importance of highly-skilled staff who work with children, young people and others to ensure digital learning is motivating and meaningful.
The features of highly effective digital practice have been split into the headings planning, teaching, learning and assessment. The challenge questions have been shaped in the form of ‘What this might look like’. These are examples and not an exhaustive list.
A template has been included to support discussion around the features including the questions ‘What are we doing?’, ‘How well are we doing it?’ and ‘What should we do next?’
