Business

The Business based context involves learning around:

• ICT to enhance learning
• Business contexts for developing technological skills and knowledge

Teachers draw on a range of approaches to meet the needs of students through carefully planned and well paced learning experiences. The aim is to provide a classroom climate of creativity and innovation, that will:

• Develop in students an understanding of the role and impact of technologies on changing and influencing societies
• Develop and understanding of students' own, and others, values and beliefs to encourage responsible ethical actions
• Allow students to gain confidence and skills in the use of technologies in a range of contexts
• Allow students to be informed consumers and producers
• Develop an understanding of concepts that encourage enterprise and influence business
• Allow appropriate use of technology
• Provide opportunities for collaborative and individual learning
• Provide opportunities to analyse, explore and reflect
