2. First things first...
● Name and position etc
● What’s the last movie you saw? (or whatever)
● Taylor Swift, Tay Tay or nay?

3. ● ICT Capability
● Integration Principles
● Intermission
● Examples and play
Moving on...

4. In the Australian Curriculum, students develop
ICT capability as they learn to use ICT
effectively and appropriately to access, create
and communicate information and ideas, solve
problems and work collaboratively in all
learning areas at school, and in their lives
beyond school.
General Capability

5. Students develop ICT capability when they locate, process, analyse and
communicate historical information. They use their ICT capability to access a
range of digital sources of information; critically analyse evidence and historical
trends; communicate, present and represent their learning; and collaborate,
discuss and debate to co-construct their knowledge.
History

6. In Geography, students develop ICT capability when they locate, select,
evaluate, communicate and share geographical information using digital
technologies and learn to use spatial technologies.
They enhance their ICT capability by exploring the effects of technologies on
places, on the location of economic activities and on people’s lives. They
understand the geographical changes produced by the increasing use of
technology.

7. In Economics and Business, students develop ICT capability when they access
and use digital technologies as an investigative and creative tool. They locate,
evaluate, research, plan, share and display data and/or information. Using
digital technologies, students create, communicate and present economics and
business data and information for a variety of reasons and audiences.

8. In the Australian Curriculum: Civics and Citizenship students develop the
knowledge and skills to use digital technologies to research and source
information on civics and citizenship, including critically analysing that
information. Students learn about and have opportunities to use social media to
collaborate, communicate, share information and build consensus on political,
legal and social issues. Students develop and apply ICT skills through
organising and presenting information digitally using multimodal elements.

9. Organising Elements

10. Three scenarios of ICT use in outcomes
● Explicit
● Integrated
● Tagged On
ICT in the Outcomes

11. ICT - Explicit

12. ICT Integrated

13. ICT - Tagged On

14. ● History and Geography have the most ‘tagged on’ outcomes.
● In Economics and Business, the ICT Capability only applies to the
gathering data outcome through the different year levels.
● In Civics and Citizenship, only in the Y9 Outcome relating to the
influence of media (including social media) in shaping attitudes.
● So explicit and integrated outcomes not prevalent in HASS subjects, thus
the onus is on the teachers to integrate, as the ‘tagged on’ outcomes don’t
require it.

16. ⬜ Use a word processor to type a story
⬜ Use an e-reader to read a book
⬜ Use a dictionary computer program
Substitution Examples

17. ⬜ Voice recognition dictation used to write
⬜ Audiobooks
⬜ Using formatting tools to present typed up
writing in an attractive way.
Augmentation Examples

18. ⬜ Writing is composed on a Word Processor
and then published on a blog, with
comments from readers used to aid the
crafting process.
⬜ Use Google Docs to jointly construct a
weather report with students from a
remote area.
Modification Examples

19. ⬜ Use Skype to present Information Reports on
Indonesian culture to students in Indonesia -
hear reports from them on Australia.
⬜ Use Google Earth to showcase research about
one of the Wonders of the World. Pictures and
widgets providing annotated information about
the location are created by the student.
