Assessment Item 1:

eJournal/ePortfolio

30%

Students are encouraged to make an effort to contribute to discussions, debates and skills workshops, assist other students as appropriate, reflect on theoretical readings and class activities and complete the appropriate eJournal (blog) entries before tutorial due dates. Students are asked to reflect on the readings in a dedicated blog environment demonstrated in class. You are not expected to agree with all your readings or workshops. Feel free to write down what you do not agree with, but more importantly, why you do not agree. Remember that a journal provides the opportunity for you to express your reaction to the readings and workshop discussions. Honesty is the most important aspect of the process. You will have the opportunity, through the journal writing process to clarify your stance with regards to the readings. You may also raise questions in your reflections. Your postings need to address two main types of reflection: Descriptive Reflection, this can involve describing what has been seen, heard and experienced. (Note: this

is not a summary of the readings.) Critical Reflection, this can involve elements of evaluating, self-analysing, contesting, appraising and

planning for the future.

Support your comments with the readings and other research. Some supporting material is already provided in the unit’s Weebly under General Resources (including the readings).

There is a specific focus for each of the blog entries, namely:

The reflection on the ICT used in the workshop is to be contextualised; for example, does the technology assist the student to create (hint: consider technology use in relation to Bloom’s Taxonomy). Reading reflections should be no more than 500 words. An insightful comment on another student’s blog for readings 1 – 4 is also required (item 5 above). A copy of the “eJournal/ePortfolio Rubric” is attached. To learn more about levels of reflective writing, go to page 585 of this paper:

Assessment Item 2: Student Group Activity 20%

The purpose of this activity is to give students the opportunity to present ICT integrated lessons in a supportive and semi-authentic environment. The activity is also to generate class discussion and debate about key concepts encountered in the readings and in the lectures. In pre-assigned groups, students will design and present an activity of 30 minutes (maximum) duration that will highlight ICT integration. (Approximately 20 minutes for the activity and 5-10 minutes for the discussion component.) Your group’s goal is to design an activity with sound learning objectives for a specified year level. This activity should model good practice in the effective integration of ICT.

Your ICT integrated SGA can take any form you wish. Some suggestions are: Interactive whiteboard Real-life simulations Problem-based enquiries Debates Poster presentations Online discussion boards Test/quizzes Interactive games Discussions

Whichever activity you design, it must: 1. Engage the audience in active discussion and participation; 2. Encourage the audience to consider how ICT contributed to learning.

It is not simply a presentation where your group stands at the front of the room and delivers content. You are to design some form of activity that will help the class to develop their understanding of concepts and/or reflect on the teaching and learning approaches used. It is advised that you keep the activity simple and spend most of your time thinking about how to generate class discussion and participation through the use of effective ICT integration. Specific details relating to this assessment component follow:

Purpose of group activity:

To create an ICT environment in which teaching skills can be practised and honed;

To assist students to become more confident facilitators of learning;

To provide students with the opportunity to work collaboratively.

Preparation tasks for group activity:

Consider topic application to your school setting;

Prepare an interactive ICT activity around your topic (i.e. be creative!);

Divide the workload evenly between group members (i.e. who will do what?).

Test the ICT before the lesson.

Activity:

Be organised to facilitate a 30-minute session on the allocated date and time – major on ICT interaction, not merely information dissemination;

All members are expected to contribute equally to the activity, in both the planning and presenting aspects.

Evaluation: A copy of the “Student Group Activity Rubric” to be used by your tutor for evaluation purposes is attached. Consult the rubric for relevant criteria before the preparation of your activity. Reflection: Students should individually complete the reflection survey found on the Assessment Weebly page.

Please note: A mark will only be given for the student group activity if:

1. The SGA navigation tab in your website (Weebly) is created with relevant information (e.g., links and instructions for students together with a brief lesson outline) prior to the commencement of the lesson.

2. Your website URL is submitted in both the “Groups” Google doc page, as well as uploaded to your group’s Assessment item 2 link in Learnit (these locations will be shown in class).

Generally group members will receive the same mark, unless there are concerns about the contribution by either a member or the tutor. Concerns by a group member should be conveyed to the tutor as early as possible and before the due date. The tutor will interview the student(s) concerned and, if necessary, make adjustments to individual marks. Marks may also be adjusted if a student’s individual presentation far exceeds others in the group in terms of organisation, delivery and/or ICT engagement. Each member of the group must demonstrate their ICT competence in terms of both the component of the SGA that they are directly responsible for, as well as helping their team members in the class activity.

Assessment Item 3a: ICT Integration Project (Planning) 25%

In pre-assigned groups, you will fully scope out (plan) your major teaching and learning resource using ICT in any content area or phase of learning in which you intend to teach. On the teacher’s page in your website, you are to provide:

- A joint statement expressing your understanding of what is required for the ICT Integration Project. - A mind map that shows clearly what you intend to do and how it fits in with the WA / Australian

Curriculum. - A Project Plan that details what actions will be taken by each group member and by when. The Project

Plan is to be detailed through to completion of Assessment 3(b), Publishing stage. - A Forward Planning Document (see http://forwardplanning.weebly.com/) that specifies the teaching

and learning that is planned over a four lesson sequence. (For those new to FWP documents, four lesson plans is acceptable.)

- A statement articulating the integration of three (minimum) ICT resources that will be used in addition to the Internet (and the Interactive Whiteboard). The statement should include why you selected the ICT resources and how they are being used as a learning tool (rather than teaching tools).

- A statement indicating how your project is underpinned by established learning theory (e.g., multiple intelligences, social constructivism, and cognitive theory).

This assessment item should be published on the Teacher’s Page of your online environment and is due as previously timetabled under Assessment Structure (5.1, p. 6). The Planning rubric for this phase of your ICT Integration Project is attached. It is essential that you review the rubric for relevant criteria before the preparation of your activity.

You must submit, by the due date, your website URL to your group’s Assessment item 3a link in Learnit.

Assessment items 3(a) and 3(b)

In groups of two to three, you are invited to produce a major teaching and learning resource using ICT. The resource should span a four lesson sequence and include a minimum of three student-centred uses of ICT. It can be targeted at any year level, learning area and in fact be cross-curricula if you wish. It should be inquiry oriented, seeking to actively engage students in inquiry, problem-solving and creative work. The WebQuest inquiry learning format has proven to be a useful framework and this will be discussed in detail. The resource also needs to be flexible in that it can be accessed anywhere, anytime. For this reason, you will be asked to publish your resource on the Web. Web publishing tools will be introduced in the workshops. The ICT integration project should:

Integrate ICT into the curriculum (i.e., computers are not just things that students learn how to use; they are tools that help students learn in a range of learning areas).

Encourage ICT to be used collaboratively as thinking tools to solve problems (i.e. social constructivist).

Engage students in content in an interesting, novel and exciting way.

The ICT Integration Project is broken down into two assessable components: Planning and Publishing. For each component an individual and group reflection (short online survey) is to be completed prior to any marks being provided. Generally group members will receive the same mark, unless there are concerns about the contribution by either a member or the tutor. Concerns by a group member should be conveyed to the tutor as early as possible and prior to due dates. The tutor will interview the student(s) concerned and, if necessary, make adjustments to individual marks.

Assessment Item 3b: ICT Integration Project (Publishing) 25% Using ICT, publish a major teaching and learning resource in any content area or phase of learning. The resource should be inquiry oriented and/or problem based, (e.g., a WebQuest) for a specified group of students of your choosing.

****It is the responsibility of students to maintain a back-up of the ICT integration project****

The ICT integration project must include:

a) The design of a unit of work that encompasses four sequential lessons (minimum) in any subject area(s) to foster the attainment of clearly articulated, purposeful learning outcomes.

b) The integration of three (minimum) ICT resources in the unit of work. These three ICT resources will be in addition to the Internet and the Interactive Whiteboard. Attempts should be made to use ICT as learning tools rather than teaching tools.

c) Linkages with an established learning theory within the design.

You must submit, by the due date, your website URL to your group’s Assessment item 3b link in Learnit. A rubric for the Publishing phase of your ICT Integration Project is attached. The rubric should be consulted for relevant criteria prior to publishing.

5.2 Referencing Style For this unit, the referencing style to use is: American Psychological Association 6th edition (APA) for in-text style Students can access support materials for this style in the Referencing Guide available via University Library Homepage. Questions about applying styles should be directed to the University Library. Contact details are available via University Library Homepage.

5.3 Submission of Assignments

Assessments will not be accepted if they are faxed or sent by e-mail.

All students must be familiar with, and abide by, the information contained in the booklet ‘Information For Teaching Students’ (School of Education) relating to: Assessment; Presentation of Work; Professional Standards; Student Attendance; Lesson Plans; Referencing in Academic Work and Literacy Standards.

Presentation of assessments must meet Notre Dame University standards: - correct use of spelling, punctuation and grammar is essential - acknowledge your sources of information – reference material - use your own words

Assessment URLs (i.e., ePortfolio, SGA, and Assessment 3a and 3b) must be provided, by the due date, in the appropriate Learnit assessment item link. Updated URLs should also be placed in the “Group Page”.

LATE SUBMISSION OF ASSESSMENT ITEMS When a student realises that an assessment item is going to be submitted late then the student should contact the Unit Coordinator to discuss the situation. An assessment item submitted after the due date without an approved extension is subject to penalty. The penalty is 10% of the total value of the assessment per day for the first 5 days (weekend included) and will receive a mark of zero after that time. The assessment item will still need to be submitted to meet unit requirements. Failure to submit an assessment item will result in a Fail grade in the unit. REQUEST FOR EXTENSION FOR AN ASSIGNMENT Requests for extensions of time are approved only in exceptional circumstances and must be made on an official form which should be given to the Unit Coordinator. The request must be made before the due date of the assessment, unless unforeseen circumstances have prevailed. Where a request is made on medical grounds an appropriate and current medical certificate must be attached. A Request for Extension form is available from Reception in the School of Education and from the School of Education resources section of the University website at http://www.nd.edu.au/downloads/fremantle/forms/application_for_extension_form_2010.doc

Descriptors for critical review of readings:

F P C D HD

Poor effort to provide

insight into what was

learned in completing the

readings. The journal entry

is a haphazard description

of the article and is of

limited educational value.

No attempt to use the

literature for support and

guidance. An ambiguous

reflection with no real

direction or purpose. No

commentary summary.

Rudimentary

insight provided

into what was

learned in

completing the

readings. Only

general reference

is made to the

literature.

Reasonable effort to

provide insight into

what was learned in

completing the

readings. Reflection

is more or less a

description of the

article rather than an

interpretation of what

it means. Literature

substantiates ideas.

Good effort to provide

insight into what was

learned in completing the

readings. Reflection is

thorough and an attempt is

made to use the literature to

support interpretations. One

or two key ideas are drawn

out and communicated

effectively.

Exemplary effort to provide

insight into what was

learned in completing the

readings. Reflection

demonstrates originality and

creativity. It is also

thorough, well written and

draws on further research to

substantiate and support

thoughts and ideas. A

sophisticated, multi-

dimensional interpretation

of the readings.

2. Postings on other students’ blogs (2 marks with a maximum of .5 mark per reading comment). One

meaningful entry on another student’s blog is required for each of the topics identified above.

3. ePortfolio framework set-up, including ICT examples of personal use and brief reflection on ICT in

the workshops (12 marks): F P C D HD

ePortfolio framework set-up, including major assignment linked on AITSL 2.6 (1.5 marks)

Includes appropriate and effective multimedia elements such as embedded videos

(e.g., SGA), images, slide shows, embedded links (using embed code), etc. (1.5 marks)

ICT examples of personal use, including reflection on the ICT and its application in an

educational context (8 marks – *see clarification below)
