ASSIGNMENT 2 Discussion points

Rationale • Understand the rationale as it provides a context. • Last two paragraphs are important. ü Add breadth and /or depth to your portfolio ü Cover most of the standards in ICT certificate, so don’t create extra work for yourself in the last week ü Gather evidence on prac and do things on prac to make evidence

Audience for your work • You • Me • Digital certificate moderators • EDC 4000 Portfolio readers including interview panels and job application readers. Hence we have asked you to practice portfolio pages now and if you are smart you will create some that meet multiple audiences from now on.

Reading for meaning • Making a judgement against the criteria. • Plus we meet the ICT certificate statements (Yes/no) for some audiences; more for me – see standards • Make finding the evidence easy for the various readers. For example recall the curriculum idea of assignment 1 and how the curriculum idea was judged – against the fit to the learning goals.

Digital Citizenship Brief • Is not only about cybersafety. • Revisit the nine elements • You may need to write a definition of how you are interpreting DC in this assignment – or at least explain the part you are focusing on as a part in a whole • A Brief is ad hand some ocument you might o they are in ne prior to a meet so fo before you rmed of your reques t r discussion. • A brief te lls t want them he reader what you to do and w do. hat you wil l

The genre • Like a newspaper genre • Your audience is busy – get to the point in the first 2 sentences • Use headings • Use Bullets • Tell them what you want them to do • Help them get ready for your meeting • • Address to a person Maybe the Memo genre Logical sections through headings End or begin with what they need to do and when Please read the criteria and standards

The criteria/standards Knowledge of contemporary issues and their importance and curriculum fit Pedagogical ideas Pedagogy suggested facilitates how students develop their positions, values and ideas and helps them positively influence others now and in the future, at school, at home and elsewhere including online. The students immerse in principles for Digital Citizenship which provide lessons beyond the current dangers and affordances.

A range of learning How students might interact strategies and with content is described. school policy decisions support student development of knowledge and student action.

Curriculum idea • ICT rich – through pedagogy , curriculum or content interpretation, perhaps student products and perhaps the processes leading to digital products • Plus meet some student ICT capabilities. • Is ICT central to how you interpret the curriculum – that is think about how to interpret the curriculum in a digital connected age • Is the ICT pedagogy embedded in the idea for implementation? • How much do students work digitally throughout the processes of the unit and or assignment?

What are the characteristics of an ICT rich Unit of work? • Brainstorm • Cluster ideas • Analyse the standards for the assignment • Cluster ideas • Analyse the indicators for the ICT Certificate • Cluster ideas Main workshop activity

Potential ideas from standards Curriculum Pedagogy • ICT is embedded in the curriculum idea • Curriculum interpretation is cognisant of modern connected communities and knowledge systems • Digital learning and processes central to what is learned and how it is learned. • Pedagogy description describes management of ICT • How is ICT use developing higher order thinking or deep communication or processing knowledge • More than ordinary – using ICT to promote creative and inventive thinking, real world issues, authentic problems, promote collaborative construction • (Think about attributes of a 21 C digital learner)

Note curriculum fit – think Deep understandings. Note assessment qualities

Keys to success • Good curriculum and pedagogical idea • Describe the core of the idea as an intro (not done well in Assign 1) • Should have a grasp of the whole idea in the introduction • Provide evidence for judging standards against the criteria • You need to demonstrate as much as you can in the ICT certificate indicators through the pieces of this assessment part.

ICT certificate • Professional Values – covered by tutorial attendance and design and participation in online events. • Professional Relationships - covered by tutorial attendance and design and participation in online events. • Professional Knowledge – Covered by your curriculum unit developed in Assignment 2 and by your Digital Citizenship investigation and brief development. • Professional Practice – all assignments are required to meet the various indicators, especially the implementation of your curriculum unit. You should provide evidence beyond this – and you can easily. How do you stand out? Beyond the certificate…. . Portfolio evidence easily meets the indicators and illustrates the student is working towards or is at the level expected in the ICT pedagogy licence. Presentation illustrates students ICT competence and capacity to use digital publishing tools for publication.
