Level 1

Foundation skills for safe and confident digital use.

What learners will do

Learn device basics, manage files safely, and create simple documents/presentations.

Mini Project Example: Create a short presentation + organise files into folders correctly.
Topics covered
  • IStrand 1: ICT Fundamentals

    Learners begin by understanding what computers are and how we use them every day.

    What a computer is and where we use computers in daily life

    Input and output devices

    Using basic applications:

    Word processing (typing, fonts, saving files)

    Presentations (simple slides with text and images)

    Paint / simple drawing tools

    Safe file handling:

    Saving, opening, and organizing work in folders

    Strand 2: Operating Systems, Hardware & Best Practices

    Introduce operating systems, basic hardware parts, and responsible device use.

    What an operating system is

    Simple navigation (desktop, start menu, taskbar, dock)

    Basic hardware parts (in simple language):

    CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers

    Best practices:

    Proper shutdown

    Basic ergonomics and posture

    Respecting shared devices and classroom rules

    Strand 3: Internet & Basic Networking

    A friendly introduction to the internet, online services, and staying safe.

    What the internet is (child-friendly terms)

    Examples of online services:

    Search engines, email, video sites, educational games

    Very basic networking idea:

    Computers connected together in a “big web”

    Online safety basics:

    Not sharing personal details

    Asking an adult if something feels wrong

    Strand 4: Programming Foundations

    Learners explore the idea that computers follow instructions.

    “Computers follow instructions” concept

    Unplugged activities:

    Writing step-by-step instructions for someone to follow

    Block-based programming:

    Simple projects in Scratch (or similar)

    Make a character move, speak, and respond to key presses

    Strand 5: Basic Electronics (Simulation Tools)

    Introduce electricity and simple circuits using safe simulations.

    What electricity is (simple explanation)

    Basic components:

    Battery, wire, bulb, switch

    Using a child-friendly simulation tool:

    Drag and drop components to build a simple circuit

    Turn a switch on/off to control a bulb

    Safety message:

    Never play with real mains electricity

    Strand 6: Cyber Security Fundamentals

    Introduce safe and respectful digital behaviour.

    “Keeping your digital world safe”

    Strong password basics:

    Passphrases and easy-to-remember patterns

    Recognising simple scams:

    Don’t click strange links

    Respecting others online:

    Kind communication and no bullying

    Strand 7: Basic IoT Concepts (Simulation Tools)

    Explore “smart” devices and simple sensor-based logic.

    What IoT is:

    Everyday examples (smart lights, smart speakers, fitness bands)

    Sensors and data (through stories/examples):

    Light sensor, temperature sensor

    IoT simulation:

    Prebuilt scenes (e.g., light turns on when it’s “dark”)

    Simple logic blocks: “If dark, then turn on light”

Level 2
