"In the Australian Curriculum, students develop ICT capability as they learn to use ICT effectively and appropriately to access, create and communicate information and ideas, solve problems and work collaboratively in all learning areas at school, and in their lives beyond school. The capability involves students in learning to make the most of the digital technologies available to them, adapting to new ways of doing things as technologies evolve and limiting the risks to themselves and others in a digital environment.
The Melbourne Declaration on the Educational Goals for Young Australians (MCEETYA 2008) recognises that in a digital age, and with rapid and continuing changes in the ways that people share, use, develop and communicate with ICT, young people need to be highly skilled in its use. To participate in a knowledge-based economy and to be empowered within a technologically sophisticated society now and into the future, students need the knowledge, skills and confidence to make ICT work for them at school, at home, at work and in their communities.
Information and communication technologies are fast and automated, interactive and multimodal, and they support the rapid communication and representation of knowledge to many audiences and its adaptation in different contexts. They transform the ways that students think and learn and give them greater control over how, where and when they learn."
This is the PDF version of the australian general capabilities
This is a great comparison/juxtaposition of the Australian Curriculum ICT General Capabilities with the 21st Century Fluencies.
Here is the AusVELS ICT Curriculum. I personally think that it is not ambitious enough and is already out dated. We should look more at the Australian Capabilities and work from there.
How blogging could possibly look at Bell PS. Would like to align this document with Ausvels and Australian Curriculum ICT Competencies. These competencies could all be easily covered through student blogging and other Web2.0 online collaborative spaces.
Scope and sequence that Megan had put together in 2012 based on VELS. This is a great starting point and it would be good to compare and contrast with the Aus Curriculum ICT competencies.
