2. Allowances and affordances of ICT

3. Ideas to explore Choose your adventure A worked example Back stage ideas Ideas bank ICT as an assessment management tool Assessing products and processes Assessing ICT Prac jobs – and your ICT certificate prep Prac jobs – and your ICT certificate prep ICT rich idea Homework – example of linking to show This weeks tech spot Hypertext menus This weeks tech spot Hypertext menus

4. A worked example Multi disciplinary Will use ICT for process and product Authentic Audience Read for meaning not mark Judge against standards on criteria

5. Year 4 Technology project Task – In teams of 3, students will design a pop-up book for children in their family from an existing or new story, working digitally to design the book, develop pages and share their thinking about their learning.

6. Deep Understandings Designing a product for an audience involves careful planning and meeting design specifications, as well as creativity and ingenuity. Developing practical and useful solutions requires time, patience, determination and persistence to see the job through to the end Successful digital work brings together software skills, file management skills, research skills, design and publishing skills and communication skills. Communicating with young readers is about grabbing and keeping their attention, giving clear messages and helping them understand the story by using multiple techniques.

7. Ideas for assessment instruments How do you differentiate for children with diff learning needs?

8. Background ideas Text chapter 6 especially 206-208 222-226

9. Purposes Assessment has purpose and audience. – The assessment instrument and grading sheet/equivalent? – The students feedback from the assessment Assess what students know and can do, rather than assess the content you taught. That is assess outputs not inputs Summative verses formative Who might be the audience of your assessment instrument and the student work? How will you make judgements and provide feedback? Who might be the audience of your assessment instrument and the student work? How will you make judgements and provide feedback?

10. Qualities Validity – does the instrument enable students to demonstrate qualities? Have you selected qualities that the curriculum expects students to demonstrate? Reliability of judgements – do your criteria and standards produce reliability? Same for other grading approaches Authentic audience improves quality. Holistic verses analytical.

11. Pondering Question – how does using ICT improve validity and reliability? In the following examples: – Using the student tracking of a LMS system? – Using online tests and exercises or quizzes etc – In a web quest? – In an ICT product project? – By diarising a process ( eg a writing process) – Others?

12. Pondering What are examples of analytical assessment instruments (and their grading mechanisms)? Think about student use of ICTs. What examples? ICT examples?

13. Bank of ideas

14. Ideas Individual Team/group Whole class

15. How can assessment and pedagogy change when students use ICT? What does technology enable students to do and demonstrate that can not be achieved on paper? http://ace.schoolnet.org.za/cd/images/Core1A /assessment_cycle.jpg

16. Managing assessment with ICT Using gradebook software or a spreadsheet/database Using the tools of an LMS Developing feedback documents for parents and students Collaboration between markers – shared documents and spaces Video and digital photos Blogging or developing profiles of students Auto- marking using test software Others?

17. Group, whole class, individual Multiple metaphors over tools Portfolios Blogs etc

18. Using ICT to assess Portfolios and blogs Questions and quizes Guided examples to work from and get feedback Peer/self assessment http://ictandassessment4learning.wikispaces. com/ICT+Tools+to+support+Assessment+for+L earning+practices http://ictandassessment4learning.wikispaces. com/ICT+Tools+to+support+Assessment+for+L earning+practices

19. Process and products The processes and subject matter from curriculum documents ICT processes ICT products

20. Assessing processes Designing assessment to enable you to make judgements about digital processes Designing assessment that enables you to make judgements about digitally-enhanced curriculum processes? How can you assess information literacy process – what task/activity/test? How do you assess a scientific process like capacity to hypothesise and test hypothesises.? How does using technology change what students do and how you judge their scientific process skills?

21. Assessing products What are some ideas for digital products? – show concept understanding – show problem solving etc – Show application of skills/knowledge in the subject area – Show ICT knowledge and skills and application

22. Group, whole class, individual Multiple metaphors over tools Portfolios Blogs etc

23. Assessing ICT Analytical verses holistic Self assessment for learning path choice Use of standards or Student competency documents PISA testing

24. Assessing ICT ICT skills and knowledge in isolation is not that useful. Students apply skills to do other things Carefully articulate what you making judgements about. Standards for students ICT Expectations documents

25. Prac and assessment Give students, teachers and parents some feedback about ICT skills and applying ICT to other things eg information literacy or critical literacy Offer to plan out (plan on a page) the development you would suggest the teacher tries to do for the remainder of the year.

26. More prac ideas Talk to the ICT coordinator What are the best things the school is doing with ICT? What is their plan for the next two years for using ICT in curriculum and to change pedagogy? How do they decide? What would they expect a first year teacher to do? Check text chapter 7 around evaluating ICT use in schools http://www.jcu.edu.au/cds/public/groups/eve ryone/documents/overview/175831.3.jpg

27. What evidence do you need to gather for your ICT certificate. Professional values I identify and participate in PD to improve my digital literacy and digital pedagogy I use ICT to operate within teams and communicate for professional purposes

28. QCOT standards Standard 5: Assess and report constructively on student learning Practice 5.6 implement approaches, including the use of ICT,to effectively monitor, assess and document learning Knowledge 5.7 how to use ICT to access, manage and report on student learning Download ICT references from QCOT on my resources page

29. STANDARD 5 FOCUS AREA 5.1Assess student learning 5.2 Provide feedback to students on their learning 5.3 Make consistent and comparable judgments 5.4 Interpret student data 5.5 Report on student achievement Look up the national standards

30. ICT Rich idea Task based or problem based learning Digital products – along the journey or at the end Digital processes or processes enhanced by working digitally Could you achieve your idea without ICT – that is do you interpret your curriculum with an ICT lens? You use ICT pedagogically Students use ICT to learn

31. Homework Ramble is important this week. Look at the Interactive white board event Find an activity or piece of software to use on a white board Learn to use it with a computer and then be prepared to lead us to use it on a whiteboard Authoring software for library whiteboard.
