How SchoolICT lessons are written, checked, and corrected
Last Updated: August 2026
This page explains who writes the lessons on SchoolICT, how they are built and checked, and how mistakes get fixed. The aim is simple: content that is accurate first and teachable second, kept independent of the advertising that funds the site.
🔴 1. Our Aim
Every lesson is meant to teach one ICT idea clearly and let a student practise it. A tool is never the subject on its own; it is a worked example for a real concept – a truth-table tool teaches Boolean logic, a number-base tool teaches number systems. If a topic cannot be taught honestly, it is not published.
🟡 2. Who Writes the Lessons
Lessons are written by Ruwan Mangala Suraweera, a qualified ICT teacher with a B.Sc. in Physical Science and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education, who has taught ICT in Sri Lankan government schools since 2008. His full background is on the About the Founder page. Author credit appears on each lesson so you always know who stands behind it.
🟢 3. How a Lesson Is Built
Each lesson opens with a plain worked example before any definitions, then adds the theory, then hands over to an interactive tool that shows its working rather than only a final answer. Lessons are grouped by grade and competency to match the syllabus, and are written to bridge Sri Lanka O/L and A/L ICT, UK GCSE and A-Level Computer Science, AP Computer Science, and Cambridge 9618 wherever the topic genuinely lines up.
🔴 4. Accuracy and Sources
Technical claims are checked against authoritative references such as official syllabus documents, MDN Web Docs, and other primary sources. Where a tool performs a calculation, its output is tested against known correct results before the lesson is published.
🟡 5. Corrections and Updates
Mistakes are corrected as soon as they are confirmed. Each lesson carries a “Last updated” date, and reader-reported errors are the main reason several lessons have been rewritten. If you spot something wrong, please tell us through the Contact page.
🟢 6. Independence from Advertising
SchoolICT is funded by advertising, but advertisers have no influence over which lessons are built or what they say. Editorial decisions are made on teaching value alone, and student progress is never shared with advertisers. See our Privacy Policy for how ads and data work.
