Commissioned by Becta, NWLG have developed a Key Stage 3 resource focusing on the knowledge and skills related to accessing, understanding and evaluating digital information. Learners can navigate their own way intuitively around the resource and make independent choices based upon personal preference and interests. They are then encouraged to question their knowledge, understanding and behaviours through the use of magazine style quizzes providing them with feedback on their internet ‘personality’.
