Participating in experiences and outcomes in the technologies enables children and young people to become informed, skilled,

thoughtful, adaptable and enterprising citizens, and to:

• develop a considered understanding of the role and impact of

technologies in changing and influencing societies

• contribute to building a better world by taking responsible,

ethical actions to improve their lives, the lives of others and the

environment

Participating in experiences and outcomes in the technologies enables children and young people to become informed, skilled,

thoughtful, adaptable and enterprising citizens, and to:

• gain the confidence and skills to embrace and use

technologies now and in the future, at home, at work and in the

wider community

• become informed consumers and producers who have an

appreciation of the merits and impacts of products and services

Participating in experiences and outcomes in the technologies enables children and young people to become informed, skilled, thoughtful,

adaptable and enterprising citizens, and to:

• be capable of making reasoned choices relating to the environment,

sustainable development and ethical, economic and cultural issues

• broaden their understanding of the role that information and

communications technology (ICT) has in Scotland and in the global

community

• experience work-related learning, and establish firm foundations for

lifelong learning and, for some, specialised study and careers
