[Yr7-10it] New National Curriculum

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

Hi all,

Good to read Paula say today, "The good news is that at the moment ICT, 
like literacy and numeracy, are high on ACARA’s agenda for development."

Great .. a well integrated, and still flexible, ICT scope and sequence,
with content & achievment, across Australia. Sounds like a kid SuperNet
coming up? A SelfHelp Community of kids taking Australia's ICT Sequence
education, which would soon be a big bonus for them and .Au if well run.

[Yr7-10it] New National Curriculum 

Hi Anne and colleagues

I understand that there will be a scope and sequence developed for ICT 
(content and achievement standards). How it will appear in the curriculum 
documents is still under consideration. For example, in the current four 
study areas being developed, it is possible that in some instances ICT 
may actually be embedded in the content of these studies e.g. use ICT to 
represent data in graph form (in maths); in other instances the ICT 
content may be illustrated through the content elaborations (examples) in 
each of these studies. How the rest will be handled, I’m not certain. The 
good news is that at the moment ICT, like literacy and numeracy, are high 
on ACARA’s agenda for development.

 

Regards

Paula
