[Year 12 IPM] Where do I go...

Correct Peter.

I understand it to be the same as you have outlined. It should read toward level 5.

ICT for creating has a section that would be the best place for digi folios

We need to be clear about what we are discussing here, I think.

When students are at level 5 they have worked through the progression points 4.25, .4.5 and 4.75. Examples of how students can be assessed at these progression points are in the document http://vels.vcaa.vic.edu.au/downloads/progressionpts/ict.pdf.

For example under 4.25, it gives as an example "use of a variety of data types to record ways in which ICT is used to develop new understandings or solve problems; for example, video recording the use of a data logger to collect scientific data", which lines up pretty well with the sort of thing you are talking about. Similarly for Excel. The art example is the use of image editing software to explore two-dimensional art.

However, I am not so sure digital portfolios using PowerPoint or web creation software fits in here.

HI

i agree that the standards are written in pretty heavy jargon - maybe we should post up the text of the standards and start discussing how we interpret them? I'll start the first one below

in my school i am coming to create projects (next year), in collaboration with  teachers from  other KLAs, to ensure we meet all the standards

I will of course share these projects with the list.

Level 5: ICT for visualising thinking

"Students select and apply ICT tools and editing functions that support the filtering, classifying, representing and organising of ideas, concepts and issues. "

As a maths/science teacher my first thought reading this one was using excel to analyse data, create averages, etc and produce charts. We also use some physics data-logging software in yr9-10 that works in will with this. The art staff use digital portfolios (powerpoint/producer)- the students collect images of their own work and intersperse it with images and text from art history/theory to show how what they have learnt and how it has influenced their work. I think Powerpoint in general is a good application for this standard in the humanities as long as the kids are actually being selective with the info and are presenting it in some kind of logical order. Webpage creation is also a good application for this standard (here this is currently only done by about 30% of 9-10s and no 7-8s)

Anyway these are my ramblings. What does everyone else think?

All

I have been posting around IPM, VELS, 7-10IT, lists for the last little while but with little results. I'm not sure as to the reason but have very little response to what I thought would be a really relatable thread. Help with VELS.

I accept that I'm a little slow and it has taken me a while to begin to understand VELS and its structure but I find it difficult to imagine that I'm the only one struggling with the interpretation and implementation of it.

When I read the Standards for the ICT domain there are lots of gaps in my understanding. I appreciated greatly the Standards Audit sheets that Andrew contributed last week but I struggle to understand what they are asking. I gave these sheets to 3 faculties to fill out and all of them came back to me saying "what the...."

Thanks to all those that participated in the 'progression points' thread of a week bk. This is real help. I don't want to go to another vels in service day where someone just stands up the front and reads out the standards again.

Has VITTA published anything on interpreting the standards...
Has VCAA anything to offer here...

I'm after VELs for dummies but as yet have not found the publisher to buy it from.

Thanks

Regards

Brendyn
