Putting Policy and curriculum
into Practise.
Let's Contextualise what
we have been hearing about.
- Tantalising predicament that we find ourselves in right now with ICT in school
- 2 National agencies - policy has caught up with best practice
- We now have the challenge of making the extraordinary into ordinary
- AITSL - Professional STandards for Teachers - given us 3 standards that explicitly reference ICT - ICT These are aspirations. Also - 3.4 - select and use resources including ICT. Also 4.5 - Use ICT safely, ethically and responsibly
- AITSL - accrediting initial teacher programs - 7 standards.
- ACARA - ICT as a general capability. Has a formal place in all learning areas. Also Digital Capabilities.
- ICT as a general capability- one of 7 along with literacy, numeracy. Change and transformation only happens if you have every piece of the puzzle together. What is it - multimodality, real data collected by Science, Tagging in GoogleEarth, blogging, collaborative WELL BEYOND PPT It is not a competence - it is a capability. Look at round spherical diagram. ICT Capability at centre. Creating with around that.
- Digital Technologies - very different to ICT as a capability. Computational thinking is a focus. Amplifying thinking and problem solving. We need to consider what computational thinking means for our kids and this curriculum.
- ACARA - General capabilities are visible in all areas of the curriculum.
- example - Location - based mobile adventures.
