  Er...What's Up doc? Pocrastination -is that really part of the.... [|Lesson plan]???

   Why plan for ICT? **


 * Potential to motivate learners
 * Supports a number of social interactions
 * Promotes student engaged learning

Depending on the **content** and **depth** to be covered, teachers can plan for ICT in three ways:

1. ** Lesson ** - ICT is used to help students better remember certain concepts

eg: <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">[|Podcasting] - Three students put together a podcast about their attendance at an ANZAC Day parade

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">2. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; msobidifontfamily: TimesNewRoman;">** Topic ** - ICT is used for, with and by students to supplement understanding <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: Georgia, serif; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; msobidifontfamily: TimesNewRoman;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">eg: [|Google Search] - Class of students find out more about the weather in a self chosen major country <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; msobidifontfamily: TimesNewRoman;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">//* Both 1 and 2 are more than probable stand alone and/or isolated incidences *// <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; msobidifontfamily: TimesNewRoman;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">3. **Curriculum Integration** <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman; msobidifontfamily: TimesNewRoman;">- ICT is exploited to organise, judge, invent, celebrate and support the majority of content and learning experiences <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">   How might I plan for ICT and Inquiry Learning and the Key Competencies? ** <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Content ** <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia, serif;">
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">What will students be expected to learn?
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">How will they be able to learn it?

<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">**<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif; msobidifontfamily: 'TimesNewRoman,Bold';">Depth ** <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif; msobidifontfamily: 'TimesNewRoman,Bold';"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif; msobidifontfamily: TimesNewRoman;">Technologies that are relational and help students link ideas between what they are learning and IT include web 2 based applications like google documents, calendars, forums, blogs and wikis, concept mapping software, ICT graphic organisers and mindmaps ie: Inspiration.
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: Georgia, serif;">When will they know they have been successful?
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #000000; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Where might they be able to use it?
 * Technology Required**

Powerpoint, digital storytelling, video conferencing, MP3, I-pods, podcasting, voicethread, skype and online forums are tools and software used for extending abstract for they support the linking of new ideas into another context.

It should be used to enable the process and **enhance** learning

**Points to consider when planning for our 21st Century thinkers and learners:**


 * 1) <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">create authentic learning opportunities that relate to the real world and students' interests
 * 2) <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">set up conditions for learning and thinking about learning
 * 3) <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">be guided by a close understanding of individual needs and different learning styles
 * 4) <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">allow for student goal-setting based on prior learning and factor in time for reflection and learning conversations
 * 5) <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Georgia, serif;">recognise that each student's role is active, metacognitive and reflective rather than passive and receptive - Angie Simmons

<span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Georgia, serif;">**If you say you understand something, then you can explain what you understand to others. Anything short of that is deception, not understanding. Education, above all, should not be about fostering deception. In the same vein, anything not understood in more than one way is not understood at all** - R. J. Kizlik
