Creating a 5 year Vision for ICT in my school. I was asked to present a 5 year vision to school Governors last week by my headteacher. I have reproduced my report at the bottom of this post and I have also posted some links to information I used. As a quick summary (if you can’t be bothered to read the whole report) I have mentioned these aspects- •New hardware-ipad/pods, tablet, consoles, net books •BYOD-Bring your own device. •Using Social media to communicate with parents. •Blogging/Publishing. •Game Based Learning. •Free Web tools. •Collaboration/Social Learning. •Free ‘open’ WiFi Apologies to those tech aficionados who will be annoyed by my, probably wrong, interpretations of the new technology I have mentioned.
As always would love to hear what people think-please post a comment-feedback ALWAYS welcome! New Learners are… •more self-directed •better equipped to capture information •more reliant on feedback from peers •more inclined to collaborate •more oriented toward being their own “nodes of production”.

The Australian Curriculum v7.2 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability - ICT capability across the curriculum. ICT capability supports and enhances student learning across all areas of the curriculum. Students develop and apply ICT knowledge, skills and appropriate social and ethical protocols and practices to investigate, create and communicate, as well as developing their ability to manage and operate ICT to meet their learning needs. Learning areas provide the content and contexts within which students develop and apply the knowledge, skills, behaviours and dispositions that comprise ICT capability.
ICT capability and the Technologies learning area Information and communication technology is represented in two ways in the Australian Curriculum: through the ICT capability that applies across all learning areas and within the Technologies curriculum through Digital technologies. The ICT capability will be reviewed (and revised if necessary) to ensure that there is consistency with the Technologies curriculum following its development. ICTeachers Resources - ICT.
