Good to read Paula say today, "The good news is that at the moment ICT,<br>

<br>
Great .. a well integrated, and still flexible, ICT scope and sequence,<br>
with content & achievment, across Australia. Sounds like a kid SuperNet<br>
coming up? A SelfHelp Community of kids taking Australia's ICT Sequence<br>
education, which would soon be a big bonus for them and .Au if well run.<br>

[Yr7-10it] New National Curriculum<br>
<br>
Hi Anne and colleagues<br>
<br>
I understand that there will be a scope and s! equence developed for ICT<br>
(content and achievement standards). How it will appear in the curriculum<br>
documents is still under consideration. For example, in the current four<br>
study areas being developed, it is possible that in some instances ICT<br>
may actually be embedded in the content of these studies e.g. use ICT to<br>
represent data in graph form (in maths); in other instances the ICT<br>
content may be illustrated through the content elaborations (examples) in<br>
each of these studies. How the rest will be handled, I’m not certain. The<br>
good news is that at the moment ICT, like literacy and numeracy, are high<br>
on ACARA’s agenda for development.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
