ICT/IM Cluster Meeting Term 2 - 2008
Agenda • NZC - Values (Technology and Values) Sylvia Singh • ICT and Technology Cliff Harwood (National Technology Professional Development Coordinator) • Digital Technology Framework Tracey Bowker (Cognition) • Unit Standards Moderation Michael Gowers
What Does NZC say about Values? Values -To be encouraged, modelled, and explored Students will be encouraged to value: • excellence, by aiming high and by persevering in the face of difficulties • innovation, inquiry, and curiosity, by thinking critically, creatively, and reflectively • diversity, as found in our different cultures, languages, and heritages • equity, through fairness and social justice • community and participation for the common good • ecological sustainability, which includes care for the environment • integrity, which involves being honest, responsible, and accountable and acting ethically and to respect themselves, others, and human rights.
Student Voice - What helps me to learn? Being interested in the lesson/subject, and seeing its relevance, featured strongly in the answers to this question: • "If I'm interested and enjoy what I'm doing I tend to make a bigger effort, and try hard to do it well." • "[I learn] if what I am learning interests and enlightens me." • "If I can clearly see how the ideas expressed are relevant to my life/my world." • "[If I] experience new and different things.” "I think the classroom lacks the 'voice' of students. Ideas are often given to us, and we don't get to discuss complications or talk about issues.” (http://nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz/student_views)
