This week we are going to discuss some of the targets and strategies outlined in our 2009 elearning plan. Tonight we are going to focus on the Curriculum Planning section of our elearning plan with particular emphasis on the following target practices.
- There is a whole school approach to curriculum planning that integrates the widespread and frequent use of ICT for improved student learning.
- There is explicit integration of ICT across all VELS domains and other curriculum frameworks.
To achieve these targets we have outlined in our elearning plan the following strategies to help us achieve these targets.
- Staff to integrate atleast one dimension of ICT (Visual Thinking, Creating or Communication) into their subjects and assess and report according to VELS in 2009
- PD is provided for staff to investigate how to implement ICT in the VELS domains, with an emphasis on thinking skills and communication.
Here is a link to the ICT concepts and skills charts which you could use to identify areas relevant to areas you are learning this year.
