The Assessment Cycle for ICT (Bennett, 2007, p58)
The Individual Profile sheet that I will discuss later makes a link between the child’s own view of their developing capabilities and a link back to planning, and this completes the planning and assessment cycle above. In Practice How do I identify what I want the children to learn? It is important to identify your learning objectives for every ICT activity and subtasks in terms of the routines (skills), techniques, concepts and higher order thinking. To best clarify this further, I will use an example from the Australian Curriculum (English) Year 1 and create an activity that may suit its criteria. This approach is adapted from Bennett’s (2007) detailed advice. Year 1 English (Literacy Strand) Creating Texts Create short imaginative and informative texts that show emerging use of appropriate text structure, sentence-level grammar, word choice, spelling, punctuation and appropriate multimodal elements, for example illustrations and diagrams. Construct texts that incorporate supporting images using software including word processing programs.
