[Yr7-10it] FW: ICT in year 9

[lisa.field]

Hi all, 

 

I have started teaching this year and have only recently joined this
list. Thanks for all the emails thus far. They have been very useful.

 

I mainly teach Year 9 Multimedia- which is a stand alone subject.
Classes have 100 minutes of Multimedia per week.

 

Students have their own notebooks and currently the program looks at
giving them the skills so they can utilise their notebooks adequately in
other subject areas. 

 

I would, however, be very interested as well to hear what other schools
are doing at Year 9. We have recently had a change of curriculum and are
still looking at developing this program further. 

 

If anyone has any ideas/suggestions for me as well, it'd be greatly
appreciated. So far we have looked at Microsoft Outlook and Word and are
due to complete a unit of Cybersafety at the end of term. 

 

Thanks,

 

Lisa Field

Subject: ICT in year 9

Hi all,

 

this year I have been fortunate enough to be on a Teacher Professional
Leave program with three other staff members looking at reworking our
year 9 program. We get one day off a week. As ICT coordinator I am
interested in how schools incorporate ICT into their Year 9 program. For
ICT we currently have a standalone program for each year 9 class which
runs for one semester of 2 periods a week. The software covered is
PowerPoint and Access with some Dreamweaver/Flash if we get through all
the work.

 

I am interested in how other schools have structured their year 9 ICT
program and the following questions:

 

- the value of ICT as a standalone subject or taught within other
faculties

- use of EWBs, gaming consoles, tablets and other hardware/software in
the classrom

- class sets of laptops and managing them

- other ideas

 

Any information on or off list would be appreciated as would any
discussion or opinions. If you have a particularly impressive program
and you are amenable I would like to come along and have a look.

 

I look forward to the flood of ideas and suggestions.

 

Regards

 

James Gibney
