[Year 12 IT Apps] Another silly question

Tue Oct 27 17:39:31 AEDT 2015

Hello Sylvia

It is my understanding that from an Aust Curric point of view, DigiTech is a stand-alone subject not intended as some sort of description of 'computers across the curriculum' - hence "the scope and sequence is quite technical ..."

In the Aust Curric it is the General Capability of ICT which fills the role of computers across the curriculum. For the Vic Curric (2017) my reading of it says that Gen Cap ICT has been built into the various subjects and therefore is not specified separately. In principle, this means that school syllabii need to be adjusted to reflect what it says in the Vic Curric for each subject, not break DigiTech into a bits to be scattered across the curriculum.

(Sorry James, I don't think I'm on the 7-10 list)

Regards
Robert T-A

  Hi all
  Im in the process of working with an elearning committee at my school and we are wanting to ensure that all subject areas are incorporating ICT in their areas. We know that they are but with the new curriculum it is going to be quite daunting. Im in the process of creating documents so that staff in other areas can put in where and what they do with digital technologies. The scope and sequence is quite technical I think for some staff. My question to the brains trust is how does your school document the use of ICT in other learning areas and how do you ensure that it is done. If any one has any examples of documentation I would love to see it or any advise on how to ensure learning areas use ICT in an exciting manner in line with digital techs your assistance will be very appreciated.
  S.
