About This Publication
One possibility of the ICT Skill for Life standard is its potential for integration within another subject. ICT skills can thus be learned indirectly.
This guide provides a range of ideas, exercises and suggestions for integrating ICT with financial education. The need to understand specific aspects of finance may arise at different stages of people’s lives (for example, the birth of a child, retirement or starting a new job. Managing money is highly motivating to many, and may appeal to older people who are likely to have had little experience of ICT. In a similar way, ICT Skill for Life emphasises learning in a purposeful way.
