Why is there a new framework?

• Existing curriculum was old

• Large number of ICT SIC’s

• SY teachers were asking for outcomes

• Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum


Previous Curriculum - Computer

• 1983 - Computer Science 205

• 1984 - Computer Science 305

• 1991 - Computer Applications and Technology 105


Previous Curriculum - Business

• 1993

• Introductory Keyboarding 15G

• Advanced Keyboarding 25G

• Software Applications 30S

• Word Processing 30G

• Advanced Word Processing 45S


School Initiated Courses

• Additional work for school staff

• Differences between schools

• Trends across school divisions

• Reflect local needs


Literacy with ICT

http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/tech/lict/index.html


Literacy with ICT

• all K-8 students will develop their literacy with ICT

• all K-8 teachers will provide opportunities for their students to develop literacy with ICT across the curriculum

• all schools will report to parents about the development of their child’s literacy with ICT


Literacy with ICT

• Choosing and using ICT responsibly and ethically, to support critical and creative thinking about information and about communication as citizens of the global community


Literacy with ICT Competencies

• demonstrating critical thinking

• demonstrating creative thinking

• demonstrating ethics and responsibility


Literacy with ICT Big Ideas

• Plan and Question • Gather and Make Sense• Produce to Show Understanding• Communicate• Reflect• Ethics and Responsibility• Social Implications• Collaboration• Motivation and Confidence


Learning Continuum

• A developmental learning continuum is an assessment tool FOR learning based on teacher observation. It describes what teachers see and hear students doing as they demonstrate their literacy

K – 8 Timeline

• Continuum Development • 2004/5 - 16 teachers

• Action Research • 2005/6 - 200+ teachers and school leaders

• Implementation • All 37 school divisions, reporting to parents• 2006/7 - 15% teachers targeted• 2007/8 – 70% teachers targeted• 2008/9 – 100% teachers targeted

Essential Skills

Computer Use


HRSDCComputer Use Complexity Scale

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5Basic interaction with computer-controlled equipment

Limited to a few basic commands with no knowledge of software required

Limited number of steps that can be memorized as a sequence

No variation in computer use task from one instance to the other

Use of several, familiar software features such as the simple formatting of text or a one-dimensional search of a database

Software used for a limited number of functions; data entry into pre-existing structures; conversion of files from one format to another; production of letters and memos in standard formats.

Software is set up by someone else and used with ‘default’ values

Multiple operations, use of a wide range of software features or options

User may be largely responsible for setting-up the software, customizing the interface, and configuring the software and hardware as required

Work may be automated by the creation and/or use of macros, templates or scripts

Varied, may involve experimentation and problem-solving

Complex tasks, may require selecting most appropriate software for the work

Multiple operations, extensive use of software functions and features

Integrated use of several software packages

Manage an existing network. Add/modify user accounts; perform routine maintenance and system management

User may need to access little-used features and options of the software

Assessment of information technology needs, selection of appropriate computing and software solutions, and the evaluation of outcomes

Tasks which require the expert knowledge of computer software and information technology systems needed to design, write and customize computer programs for specific purposes

Infusion of ICT

• research in the last 20 years has shown that the most effective way to develop literacy with ICT is to use models that focus on learning rather than on technology

• the pedagogy of Literacy with ICT encourages movement from technology as supplementary to the curriculum to a model that infuses the curriculum with ICT

Senior Years Infusion

• In the workplace, ICT is infused throughout the activities of the organization. Using ICT is not a task separate from all other work.

• In Senior Years, ICT needs to be infused across the curriculum.

• Senior Years ICT courses support the infusion of ICT across the Senior Years curriculum.

School Initiated Courses (SICs)

• Schools may still submit ICT SIC’s

• SIC learning outcomes must go beyond the learning outcomes in the framework

• At least 50% of the learning outcomes in a SIC must be different than the learning outcomes in the curriculum framework
