There's a lot to look at in the ICT General Capability.  There's a statuatory requirement in place that we all cover the contents of that wonderful wheel of information communication technology yet, many of us are not too sure what it is we actually need to cover or how on earth we're going to cover it - the curriculum is pretty busy! 

In this session we will explore one small bite of the ICT General Capability - 

Applying social and ethical protocols and practices when using ICT

We will explore all four of the areas identified within this Organising Element.  This includes:

• Intellectual Property,
• Digital Information Security Practices
• The Impacts of ICT in Society and
• Personal Security Protocols.

Be ready to explore ideas like: copyright, creative commons,  Malware, popups, digital citizenships, web literacy, emotional safety, health and wellbeing, auditing and more.  This is much more than cyber safety :)

FAQ:

What can I expect from the day?

We'll be working through all four of the sub strands of the organsing elements.  I'll share some example of goodpractice, provide you with an evolving list of resources and give you plenty of time to look at how we might can begin to slip this standard into our cross curicular planning. We'll even look at some auditing tools that can be used to check what your currently covering and where you need to go next.

Who should attend?

The General Capability is the reponsibility of every teacher, at every year level.  We'll look at the whole continuum so come along what ever year level you teach in.  We'll be exploring what we should cover, where we can find resources and how we can cover it. I'll do my best to tailor those resources to your needs.  This course is designed to suit a range of technical abilities too so don't worry if you need support or you're an ICT Whizz. We've got you covered :) 

Will you be feeding me?

We'll provide tea, coffee and cakes for morning tea, but you'll need to bring your lunch with you.  Alternatively, there are a couple of cafes open across the road from where we're working or you can head to the loca foodland (just around the corner) to grab something to eat. 

What NPSFT's will this help me to cover - TRB style?

This course will give you six hours of PD time and there will be a certificate to prove it. ;)   We will a touching on standards such as:

• 2.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• 3.4 Select and use resources
• 4.5 Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically
