The world around you is connected. The remote is connected to the TV. The TV is connected to the Internet. The Internet is connected to a server in Iceland. And so on. Technology has made the world smaller, and for students to fully understand the ‘global village' they live in, they must understand Information Technology.

Yew Chung International School of Shanghai's Information and communication Technology (ICT) lessons teaches students everything they need to know about technology. Internet, email, computers, and many of the gadgets we use today.

Students use a range of ICT tools and information sources, such as computer software and the Internet, to support their work in other subjects. They learn that information needs to be accurate and relevant, and that information on the Internet may sometimes be neither. Because of this, they are taught how to check the quality of information, learning how to filter good information from bad, and how to present information in a way that suits the needs of their audience. They also explore and compare the different ways ICT is used in and outside of school.
