The purpose of this study is to examine how students in third grade use ICT equipment intheir home environment, and if there are any correlations between their usage and the nationalpolicy documents, including the planned revision of those documents planned for 2017. Furthermore will potential differences between individual students ICT usage, and their teachers perception of said use be highlighted. The methods used for this study will be both quantitative and qualitative, where a quantitative survey taken by two classes in third gradefrom different schools is used to poll ICT usage. A qualitative interview with both classesteacher is also performed to highlight their perspective on ICT and their students use of it. The conclusion of the study shows that there are differences between how both students as individuals and classes as micro cultures use ICT, and that the teachers have a superficially correct perception of their individual classes. The study highlights that the ICT activities that the students claim to participate in during their leisure time have practical connections to the national policy documents, but that different activities have different connections. The study also shows that said micro cultures affects how the different classes use ICT as groups and by doing so, also affects the classes competency, within ICT as well as traditional school subjects.
