Changing nature of students and education• In order to be informed and active participants in our changing society, students, now and in the future, will need to be self-directed learners, able to identify issues, pose questions, synthesise ideas and develop solutions to problems. • Teacher is no longer the bearer of all wisdom.• The evolution of technology necessitates a continual, ongoing learning process in order to harness it.

Using ICTIn each year, from Kindergarten to Year 12, students should participate in activities that assist in the development of their ability to:
• use ICT to locate, access, evaluate, manipulate, create, store and retrieve information;
• express ideas and communicate with others, using ICT;
• develop an awareness of the range of applications of ICT in society;
• discriminate in the choice and use of ICT for a given purpose;
• develop the confidence to explore, adapt and shape technological understandings and skills in response to challenges now and in the future.

Making Connections with ICT
• ICT is mandated in the K-10 syllabus • ICT provides a different way of learning for the students and an alternative way for teachers to present information and skills • ICT can be more engaging and motivating for students by tapping into their cultural experience and assisting in the development of a sense of personal relevance • ICT can be used as part of the process and product of rich assessment tasks• ICT enriched activities can be used effectively to enhance deep understandings

Moving between ICT
• Word processing - Word, PowerPoint, email, comics• Synchronous and asynchronous communication - E-mail, Instant Messenger, Video conferencing • Internet - information search, web quests, on-line dictionaries • On-line learning - software programs and Internet based language lessons • Teacher and Student centred approaches allowing self discovery learning and traditional teacher focused presentations

You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
