Joint Statement

A joint statement from our group expressing our understanding of what is

required for the ICT Integration Project.
The requirements for the ICT Integration project are as follows:
1. The project is to be completed by our group collaboratively.
2. Our group must produce a major teaching and learning resource using ICT (Website with
integrated ICT) ;
3. The resource needs to:
a. cover four lessons and be properly sequenced;
b. include a minimum of three student-centred uses of ICT;
c. target year 9 history with a focus on World War 1 and the battle at Gallipoli;
d. actively engage students in inquiry, problem-solving and creative work;
e. be flexible in that it can be accessed anywhere, anytime (we will be using Weebly)
f. encourage ICT to be used collaboratively as thinking tools to solve problems (i.e.
social constructivist); and
g. engage students in content in an interesting, novel and exciting way.
4. The lessons contained in the resources needs to integrate ICT into the curriculum so that ICT
is used as a tool that helps students learn.

The ICT Integration Project is broken down into two assessable

components:
The Planning stage of the assessment involves the following:
1. A joint statement expressing our understanding of what is required for the
ICT Integration Project;
2. A mind map which clearly shows what we intend to do and how it fits in
with the WA Curriculum Framework;
3. A Project Plan which details what actions have been taken to date and by
whom, as well as the actions that will be taken by each group member and
by when to ensure that the Publishing (item 3b) component is completed
on time and fairly.
4. A Forward Planning Document (or 4 lesson plans) that specifies the
teaching and learning that is planned over a four lesson sequence.
5. A statement articulating the integration of three (minimum) ICT resources
that will be used in addition to the Internet. The statement should include
why we have selected the ICT resources and how they are being used as a
learning tool (rather than teaching tools).
6. A statement indicating how our project is underpinned by established
learning theory (e.g., multiple intelligences, social constructivism, and
cognitive theory).
The Publishing stage of the assessment involves the publishing of a major
teaching and learning resource targeting year 9 history with a focus on World
War 1 and the battle at Gallipoli. The resource should:
1. Include inquiry oriented and/or problem based activities;
2. Encompass four sequential lessons focussed on Gallipoli that fosters the
attainment of clearly articulated, purposeful learning outcomes.
3. The integration of at least three other ICT resources. These three ICT
resources will be in addition to the Weebly. Attempts should be made to
use ICT as learning tools rather than teaching tools.

4. Link with an established learning theory within the design (behaviourism,

blooms taxonomy, cognitivism, constructivism.
The publishing of the ICT integration project must also include:
1. Introductions that draw the learner into the lesson by relating to the
learner's interests or goals and/or engagingly describing a compelling
question or problem to set the scene for your students.
2. A selection of appropriate set of resources that will underpin the
curriculum.
3. An evaluation rubric that enables the students to see what they need to
do in order to effectively engage with the curriculum.
4. An activity that encourages our learners to reflect on:
a. what they learned and how they learned it
b. what the ultimate product was
c. the extent to which they met the learning objectives
d. what they did well/not so well and what they would do differently
next time
e. how the ICT resources supported their efforts
5. Compliance with academic literacy standards.
