**Inquiring with ICTS** Students · explore and use ICT in the processes of inquiry and research across key learning areas (e.g. explores the way ICT services change how we gather and interpret information by investigating wikipedia, global mapping, weather prediction or online banking). · Identifie the inquiry focus, data and information requirements and possible digital information sources (e.g. generates a digital concept map to show planning and possibilities). · Plan, conduct and manage structured and advanced searches for data and information in response to questions (e.g. uses search engine filters to refine search results). · Organise and analyse, experiments with and tests data and information from a variety of sources (e.g. uses information sources including online community tools like blogs and wikis, RSS and news feeds, and real-time data sources). · Evaluate data and information gathered for usefulness, credibility, relevance, accuracy and completeness (e.g. says ‘//do I have enough good information to present all sides of the argument ‘Does this website have a vested interest?//’). · Reflect on, analyses and evaluates how ICThave assisted in meeting the inquiry purposes and in developing new understandings (e.g. uses online forums or chats to consider questions such as: ‘//how well did we use ICT to help us gather information and draw conclusions?’//).

Students • Use ICT to create a range of responses to suit the purpose and audience. The student uses ICT to develop understanding, demonstrate creativity, thinking, learning, collaboration and communication across key learning areas (e.g. responds creatively to the scenario: Your space ship has crashed and you need to create a new society on Planet Vix using a laptop, digital camera, a roll of aluminium foil, and the contents of your crumpled space ship). • Develop plans and proposals, considering common ICT design features (e.g. uses a discussion board, blog or wiki in a Learning Place project room to collaboratively develop an assignment plan). • Develop criteria to evaluate responses, plans and processes to develop shared team processes and procedures by using a discussion board or blog. • Express and creatively represent ideas, information and thinking (e.g. manipulates digital images in a photo story about their community for tourists). • Creatively documents and presents their planning, thinking and learning using a combination of media (e.g. shows the links between story elements and related ideas by hypertext and interactive media-rich products). • Reflect on their use of ICT as creative tools and evaluates the quality of their ICT responses, plans and processes against criteria (e.g. shares ideas on how to create objects and effects and says ‘should I have used a different media to share my experiments at the science fair?’).
 * Creating with ICTs**

Students • Select and use ICT across key learning areas to collaborate and enhance communication with individuals, groups or wider audiences in local and global contexts for an identified purpose and audience (e.g. emails local companies requesting donations for the upcoming school fete). • Routinely uses ICT when collaborating, developing, organising and presenting new ideas to enhance messages, information, stories, project plans and online communication (e.g. uses digital illustrations, sound, 3D representations, animations and video in non-linear and interactive genres). • Consider how ICT can be used to enhance interpersonal relationships and to empathise with people in different social and cultural contexts. • Apply suitable or agreed communication conventions and protocols (e.g. observes ‘etiquette’ rules when communicating online in one-to-one and group situations). • Select and apply a variety of digital media to improve communication (e.g. matches choice of tools to purposes within an online learning environment). • Establish their own or group image and identity in communication (e.g. represents their group with an avatar when communicating in virtual environments, creates a digital signature). • Reflect on their use of ICT and considers feedback to improve collaboration and refine and communicate meaning through using interactive online tools (including blogs, wikis, chats, bulletin boards or forums) to gather critical reviews of writing, productions and online publishing or contributions.
 * Communicating with ICTS**

Students • Understand the role and impact of ICT in society, developing and applying ethical, safe and responsible practices when working with ICT in online and stand-alone environments. • Take responsibility for personal behaviours when working with remote learning teams and using shared school, home and community facilities by explicitly discussing ideas and publishing a personal code of practice on personal spaces. • Review the use of ICT in terms of safety, ethical practice, legality and responsibility (e.g. undertakes a web quest or similar investigation on scams, frauds, virus prevention and other topical contemporary issues). • Apply values and codes of practice in the ICT environment that respect individual rights and cultural differences when accessing and delivering information online. • Apply protocols to acknowledge the owner(s)/creators(s) of digital information sources (e.g. develops an awareness of legislation relating to digital theft and plagiarism by developing copyright and intellectual property statements). • Apply a range of preventative strategies to address issues relating to health and safety when using ICT (e.g. applies simple ergonomic principles to layout of computer work area). • Develop and apply strategies for securing and protecting digital information and files especially when accessing personal resources which travel between home, school and community sites or reside on networks. • Evaluate how their use of ICT meets ethical and legal criteria (e.g. discusses whether they read the “small print” of contracts and “terms and conditions” of seemingly innocent and safe online services; and provides other examples of ethical and legal aspects of ICT use). • Reflect on, analyse and evaluate the use of ICT and its broad impact on lifestyles, commerce, environmental and human progress (e.g. debates the responsibilities and rights of people and groups to publish online and form online communities). • Develop operational skills and begins to use the extended functionality of a range of ICT devices (e.g. uses an MP3 player and music editing software to create a soundtrack for a presentation). • Investigate the main uses and processes of some unfamiliar input, output, processing and storage devices. • Apply operational conventions when using ICT (e.g. uses class protocols and naming conventions when saving files and creating folders). • Develop strategies for learning new ICT operations and considers different ways to perform tasks (e.g. develops new digital skills by using ‘help’, experimentation and by asking others). • Identify operational advantages to manage personal ICT resources and customise interfaces (e.g. creates a web page that is customised for a particular purpose and audience such as a retailer). • Apply agreed processes for personal management of digital content and identifies the advantages of customisation (e.g. proficiently manages the transfer of data between school and home environments and develops responsibility for integrity of information and files, backup and archival storage and ownership). • Reflect on, analyses and evaluates their operational skills to meet the requirements of system resources, processes and conventions (e.g. completes a self-assessment of ICT skills and identifies areas for development).
 * Ethics, Issues and ICTs**

• Explores and uses ICT in the processes of inquiry and research across key learning areas (e.g. explores the way ICT services change how we gather and interpret information by investigating wikipedia, global mapping, weather prediction or online banking). • Identifies the inquiry focus, data and information requirements and possible digital information sources (e.g. generates a digital concept map to show planning and possibilities). • Plans, conducts and manages structured and advanced searches for data and information in response to questions (e.g. uses search engine filters to refine search results). • Organises and analyses, experiments with and tests data and information from a variety of sources (e.g. uses information sources including online community tools like blogs and wikis, RSS and news feeds, and real-time data sources). • Evaluates data and information gathered for usefulness, credibility, relevance, accuracy and completeness (e.g. says ‘do I have enough good information to present all sides of the argument ‘Does this website have a vested interest?’).
