Cambridge ICT Starters On Track Stage 1 (4th – NOC Edition)

Description

Based on Single National Curriculum 2020

Help your students learn essential ICT skills, from Microsoft Office® basics to animations and websites.

This series brings a fresh approach to ICT for students from 7 to 14 years old, mapped to the Cambridge ICT Starters syllabus for examination from 2019. On Track builds on the document, multimedia, spreadsheet and database skills learners have developed throughout the series. They’ll use spreadsheets to plan a holiday and create their own database. Each activity is clearly introduced, with step-by-step guidance to help learners master new skills. Key words and visual examples support students’ understanding, while tip boxes provide helpful suggestions.
