The Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) describe what is essential for Victorian students to achieve from Prep to Year 10. They provide a whole school curriculum planning framework that sets out learning standards for schools to use to plan their teaching and learning programs, including assessment and reporting of student achievement and progress.
The Global Teacher Project is a joint project between the Victorian Education Channel and The School Library Association of Victoria.
Preparing Schools and School Systems for the 21st Century
The study points out 16 major characteristics of schools and school systems capable of preparing students for a global knowledge/information age. Those characteristics include:
Low-income students are in many ways just as technologically savvy as their counterparts
In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered the educational benefits of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. The same study found that low-income students are in many ways just as technologically proficient as their counterparts, going against what results from previous studies have suggested.
Assessment and new technology: new straightjackets or new opportunities?
This Web site is dedicated to the idea that the very nature of information is changing, practically before our eyes. It is changing in what it looks like, where we find it, what we look at to view it, what we can do with it, and how we communicate it. Here you will find information and tools designed to help us redefine literacy for the 21st Century.
This wiki page will serve the readers of Redefining Literacy for the 21st Century. Online handouts for David Warlicks keynote addresses on Redefining Literacy can also be found
