Applying social and ethical protocols and practices when using ICTStudents develop ICT capability within a context of social and ethical protocols and practice. This element involves students in developing an understanding of: • intellectual property pertaining to digital information • digital information security, including the responsibility to:- protect the rights, identity, privacy and emotional safety of online audiences- avoid and prevent cyberbullying- ensure security of self and/or others- respect audiences, being aware of the portrayal of self and others• the benefits and consequences of ICT for individuals, groups and communities in society, such as: - becoming drivers of ICT, seeing themselves as creators as well as consumers of ICT- recognising its capacity to enhance participation and inclusion General capabilities in the Australian Curriculum - January 201246- analysing how changes in technology impact on and relate to changes in society. Investigating with ICTThis element involves students in using ICT to access data and information from a range of primary and secondary sources when investigating questions, topics or problems. To do this effectively and efficiently, students use processes of defining, planning, locating, accessing, selecting, organising and evaluating information and data. Students use ICT to: • define and plan information searches • locate and access data and information through:- search engines, search functions, and general and specialised directories- navigation tools between and within documents - opening files of different formats- organising data and information using a range of ICT tools• select and evaluate data and information by applying criteria to verify the integrity of data and information and their sources.Creating with ICTThis element involves students in using ICT to generate ideas, plans, processes and solutions to challenges and tasks. These may relate to learning a concept, completing an activity or responding to a need, and may be self- or teacher-generated. Students use ICT to generate ideas, plans and processes to:• clarify a task, or the steps and processes required to develop responses to questions or solutions to problems• generate products or solutions for challenges and learning area tasks to: - develop, refine and present new understandings in a digital form - create a digital input or a process to support a digital output to transform digital data and information. Communicating with ICTThis element involves students in using ICT to communicate ideas and information with others and collaboratively construct knowledge, in adherence with social protocols appropriate to the communicative context (purpose, audience and technology). Students use ICT to:• share, exchange and collaborate to enhance learning by:- sharing information in digital forms - exchanging information through digital communication - collaborating and collectively contributing to a digital product • understand and apply social protocols to receive, send and publish digital data and information, taking into account characteristics of users General capabilities in the Australian Curriculum - January 201247• apply techniques or strategies to ensure security of digital information, to control access, protect files and report abuse.Managing and operating ICTThis element involves students in using ICT to investigate, create and communicate. This involves applying technical knowledge and skills to work with information as required and use information classification and organisation schemes. Students:• use digital technologies efficiently including: - troubleshooting- adjusting parameters - monitoring occupational health and safety issues • select appropriate combinations of digital hardware and software to match the needs of the user and the task • understand the transferability of knowledge and skills between digital systems and applications• use software to manage and maintain information in digital files.

MarionAssaigaiers uses Dylan William’s analogy for questioningHe asks us not to do table tennis Q&A - play basketball instead. Pose a question, pause, ask another kid to evaluate the answer child one gave, and ask a third for an explanation of how and why that's right or wrong.Finally, don't allow hands to go up to give an answer - your students results will be worse than if they do otherwise. Instead, the teacher can encourage certain students to take part in this three-way questioning activity, and work over time to get them playing question basketball for themselves.Collaborative tools such a Edmodo can facilitate this.http://learningnetworknz.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/hands-up.htmlAttention – seeking, avoiding or losing it – came to mind as I pondered our ‘2012: Hands up who’s ready!’ campaign which will highlight our raft of events andresources to support your professional learning next year.It seems there’s a lot of discussion out there around alternatives to ‘hands up’ in class, as well as novel ideas for getting students’ attention. And while a lot more goes on in the 21st century classroom than teacher-posed questioning, there are times when we do want to call on students to offer their thoughts to the group.Looking forward to your comments and suggestions on these!Response boardsAn experiment on a class of British 13-year-olds banned them from raising their hands for a term. It showed they learned twice as fast when asked to write their answers to teacher-posed questions on a small whiteboard, and then raise them together. While the technique was unpopular with both students and teachers at first, it proved to prevent the minority of students from dominating, and to give the quieter children more confidence. Some teachers also get students to use pre-written response cards. These could be ‘agree/disagree’, or numbers from 1 to 4 indicating level of understanding. Students indicating a high level of understanding could be called on to share with the class. How would this work with your students?Two thumbs upWhat about replacing the traditional hand-raise with a newer gesture like two thumbs up? A primary school that adopted this was derided by press and parents alike but the principal maintains that “it has calmed the students down. Staff have noticed a positive difference in the amount of people answering questions.” Do you think using an alternative gesture would make a difference in your class?Cold callingSome teachers swear by choosing a different student by name to answer each time; they maintain this shares the love (the pain?) by giving everyone the same opportunity to speak. A (partial) pack of cards can be used to make this more fun – assign one card to each student and pull one out at random – or write each student’s name on an ice block stick to pull out. Would your students find this challenging or confronting?Silence is goldenThe uncomfortable silence that sometime hangs after your question isn’t such a bad thing – call it ‘think time’. There are various studies around the benefits of leaving at least 3 seconds for thinking before expecting a question to be answered. One article I read highlights the use of think time at various points in class dialogue, not just after asking a question. For example, think time after one student has responded allows the others to ponder and react to what they’ve heard. A pause in the middle of teacher talk gives the class time to absorb and process information – and allows the teacher to reflect too. And how often are we guilty of spitting out the first answer that comes to mind, rather than pausing and taking time to think of a considered response? Would modelling think-time help your students embrace it?Attention seekerAnd how about the age-old problem of getting your students’ attention without sounding like a sergeant major? Do you put your hand up or clap, and wait for them to follow suit? Play a piece of music? Ring a big old bell, blow a whistle, bang a drum, dance on the desk? What works for you and feels respectful?
Syncing, storage, charging, and even classroom management are all factors. And perhaps most important to any educators is the concept of time-management. The more self-contained procedure and habits are here, the more time students will have for inquiry, collaboration, and instruction—and the more time available to focus on what makes the iPad special.

LEAN THINKINGThe core idea is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, lean means creating more value for customers with fewer resources.DESIGN THINKINGDesign Thinking refers to the methods and processes for investigating ill-defined problems, acquiring information, analyzing knowledge, and positing solutions in the design and planning fields. As a style of thinking, it is generally considered the ability to combine empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality to analyze and fit solutions to the context.
