=IGCE - ICT=

Outside the U.K., set up by Cambridge, is designed an international general certificate curriculum in ICT for grades 9 and 10 (Years 10 and 11 by UK naming conventions) before they enter an International Baccalaureate (IB) program. This two year course is called the IGCE ICT program which is similar to the standard ICT curriculum they use, but with less U.K. bias.

Last year, I used for my IGSE ICT class the following books.

GCSE ICT Information Comunication Technology - The Revision Guide. (2008) Harber-Stuart, Darbishire, Harte, Little, MacDonald, Nash, Park, Rogers, and Thompson. (2008). Elander Hindson Ltd, Newcastle upon Tyne. Coordination Group Publication Ltd.
 * This book was funny. It had humor that made students smile. It is very standards focused and outline oriented. Outside project with authentic tasks to be supplemented with this book are needed and suggested.

GCSE ICT Information Comunication Technology - The Workbook. (2002). Chisem, Clarke, Darbinshire, Hall, Reed, and Williams. Elander Hindson Ltd, Newcastle upon Tyne. Coordination Group Publication Ltd.
 * I assigned some of these pages for homework. There are still questions that are quite dated, like questions on floppy disks, and nothing on USB keys. This is where the teacher can shine as he or she adds new things to think about.

=Key Stage 3 - ICT= This is a UK curriculum that focuses on grades 6, 7, and 8th grade (YRS 7, 8, and 9).

Last year I didn't have books for this, but this year I am using
