	Nature The Student:	Techniques The Student:
L e v e l 1	I 1.1 Understands that information can be presented and used in different ways.	I 1.2 Uses simple techniques, with direction, to access and present information
L e v e l 2	I 2.1 Understands that information is constructed, stored and transmitted in different ways. understands that various geographic shapes and symbols, icons and buttons on web pages symbolize particular functions. understands email functions such as reply, forward, address book, etc.	I 2.2 Uses techniques to access, record, store manipulate and transmit information and create information products. uses action buttons and other icons to enhance documents. uses e-mail to send and receive information.
L e v e l 3	I 3.1 Understands that information is used, created, constructed, presented, stored and transmitted in different ways for particular audiences and users. differenciates between similar information from various sources, e.g. information from books, Internet, newspapers, encyclopedias and compares and contrasts facts. examines a range of web pages and other information products to identify the distinguishing features of the print style, the source of ideas, the target consumer group, the message and the values inherent in the design; assesses the impact of the design on the user and others; and decides whether these techniques are an effective way of conveying information.	I 3.2 Selects and uses a range of techniques when transforming information and creating information products. selects newspapers, magazines, telephone books, atlases, encyclopedias, dictionaries and web pages for specific information. selects notemaking frameworks appropriate to the media. records information in note form from various formats, e.g. text, video, audio, graphics, digital sources. compares and combines similar information found in more than one source. presents appropriate information in written descriptions, drawings, illustrations, graphs and photos which are labelled to summarise findings. uses various techniques to store information, e.g. photocopy print materials, download or cut and paste from electronic resources. records source of information including author and title. uses tables, graphics and photos to create a simple web page.
L e v e l 4	I 4.1 Understands that there are specific forms, structures, styles and presentations used in particular information products and processes. understands that the html coding determines the layout of a web page. understands that graphics have to be ion certain formats and photos in certain resolutions to obtain maximum effect. reviews a number of websites and identifies those that are most effective for point of view of graphics, font, layout, backgrounds, download time.	I 4.2 Selects and uses recognised procedures, conventions and languages to process information and create information products. modifies website design using graphic interface and html. takes digital photos at correct resolution. uses design ideas gained from those sites reviewed to obtain best effects. seeks permission before using images or designs created by others.
L e v e l 5	I 5.1 The student understands that forms, methods of transmission, standards and conventions affect the use and impact of information. understand that information can be affected by bias, can be from an unreliable source, affected by cultural values, or, if dated, may now not be valid.	I 5.2 The student manipulates, transforms and creates information to achieve particular effects and meanings. critically analyse information before selecting so that, as far as is possible, it is free bias and cultural values. analyse and synthesise information from a range of sources to check for accuracy. uses tables, graphic, labels, photos, sound recordings, videos and own synthesised information to create website.
