ICTs in Key Ideas eg Science Middle Years

Students select and use observational instruments and digital and electronic technologies to develop understandings about structures and events in the universe. They appraise, and share opinions about, the ethics of space exploration. [F] [In] [C] [KC2] [KC7]

Essential Learnings # 5: Communication

Explicit References inSACSA RationalEach Learning Area / Band Statement

eg Arts Middle Years

Literacy Numeracy & ICT in ArtsLearners develop and use operational skills in information and communication technologies to critically design and construct texts, search for and sort information, and communicate with others. Examples of this learning are evident in arts when students develop, produce and present animation, computer imaging, computer-aided design and digital and electronic recording.

ICTs for the Futures Essential Learning- Russell Phillipson, Policy Oficer ICT & Curriculum, Phone 8226 4314, email: phillipson.russell@saugov.sa.gov.au

Students apply their knowledge of the characteristics of materials and equipment when creating solutions and designing to meet criteria related to function, aesthetics, sustainability and production. [F] [In] [KC3] [KC6]

This includes such learning as:

developing detailed knowledge of the respective properties and potential of many materials, including data, in order to optimise production requirements for sustainable designs [F] [T]

Rapid change makes many past assumptions redundant

Forward thinking (forsight) is preferable to crisis management

Future visions motivate people Young people have a natural interest
