At each level you will be exploring new things about ICT; you will also be creating your outputs and building what is called a [[wikipedia:Electronic_portfolio|digital portfolio]]. This portfolio will include your outputs; they will be such that you will know what you have learnt and you will also know the method of learning.  At the end of the year, your teacher will assess your portfolio.
