We focus on building confidence, curiosity, and responsible digital practices as students explore and interact with technology.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>ICT Learning Structure and Key Outcomes<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICT lessons are divided between homeroom and computer lab sessions:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Homeroom Lessons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Through unplugged activities and classroom iPad use, students explore technology basics in a familiar setting. Here, they engage in digital storytelling and experiment with simple game design elements, blending creativity with foundational digital skills.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Computer Lab Sessions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: In the lab, students practice essential skills like powering on a computer, logging in, using a mouse, and typing simple words. They also explore foundational coding concepts, learning sequencing through step-by-step instructions and developing problem-solving skills through basic game design tasks\u200b\u200b.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>Key Learning Outcomes<\/b><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Basic Operations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Students
