The document discusses plans for implementing literacy with information and communications technology (ICT) in Southwest Horizon School Division. It outlines goals such as collecting online teaching resources, becoming familiar with the literacy with ICT continuum, and promoting the integration of ICT into daily lessons. Various resources are also referenced, including the literacy with ICT continuum, Bloom's taxonomy, and examples of using ICT like digital storytelling and the Big 6 research model.

1. Literacy with ICT Today will be the start of a conversation that we will continue over the next year.

3. What do we hope to achieve with this round of ICT Grade Group Meetings? Collect resources to be used as an online resource for SHSD teachers – projects, files, websites Become more familiar with the Literacy with ICT continuum Leading to a collaborative project between schools, globally, between staff (master teachers, new teachers) Sharing successes, plans and projects in ICT An awareness of ICT PD requirements for SHSD staff Reminded about the Literacy with ICT report – mandated for 2008-2009 Promote, support the infusion of ICT into your daily course delivery and design. Create ICT projects or activities that we can use in our classrooms

9. Social Implications Ethics and Responsibility Affective Domain contains descriptors that describe student behaviour within areas of attitude and motivation E-2.1 applies school division’s acceptable-use policy for ICT E-1.3 recognizes the need to acknowledge authorship of intellectual property (examples: text, images, data, music, video...) E-1.4 identifies possible health issues associated with using ICT (examples: ergonomic factors, inactivity, carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive stress injury, eye strain, addictive/obsessive behaviour...) S-1.3 chooses appropriate times and places to use wireless games and/or communication devices (examples: electronic pets/games, iPods, MP3 players, cell phones, PDAs...; at school, on buses, in theatres, in restaurants, in meetings, while driving...)

10. Motivation and Confidence Collaboration Co-2.1 collaborates with peers to accomplish self-directed learning with ICT in various settings (examples: assumes assigned group roles, sets group goals, Solves group productivity issues...) M-2.2 perseveres in working through complex ICT problems using higher level thinking skills (examples: open-mindedness, precision, accuracy...)

12. E-1.3 recognizes the need to acknowledge authorship of intellectual property (examples: text, images, data, music, video...) E-2.3 explains consequences of unethical behaviour (examples: cyberbullying, promotion of prejudice and hatred, copyright violations, plagiarism, wilful destruction/manipulation of data, hacking, propagation of viruses, spamming, software piracy, consumer fraud, identity theft...) E-2.2 applies safety guidelines when communicating electronically (examples: email, web pages, threaded discussions, videoconferences, chats, instant messages, camera phones, wikis, blogs, podcasts, online whiteboards...) Ethics and Responsibility

13. Copyright - Citation Research Skills The Big6 Research Technique provides a structure for dealing with research projects. It helps students break down the process into logical steps. Boolean Search Video Evaluate your own work and determine how to improve on it. Identify what students don’t know, and show then mistakes in the connections they have made. Evaluation Make a product to share the learning; a multimedia presentation, oral presentation or written paper It must include a bibliography. Organize information from multiple sources. Using diagrams they have made, students add new information to what they already know. Make an outline. Synthesis Read the source and take notes on the relevant information Students internalize what they have learned and create an original product wtitten in their own words Use of information Find the information, by listing keywords and using books and the internet Organize main ideas and supporting details on a graphic organizer. Location and Access Determine sources of information; evaluate their worth, and how to access the information Use graphic organizers, keywords, symbols, colors and pictures to make nonlinear connections Information Seeking Strategies Define the problem, and write questions to be answered Brainstorm ideas and develop thoughts Task Definition Task for the learner Description of this phase of research
