 * Integrated Resource Package and Performance Standard Investigation: **

Scenario
A year from now you will be working in a brand new secondary school (Grades 9-12) that is currently being built. The school district has asked you to work on a committee to determine how Information and Community Technologies will be taught at this brand new school. You have the budget to build infrastructure and you have the teachers in the district who have the technical expertise to deliver curricula in a variety of ways.

** Challenge **
What ICT delivery model will your committee recommend for this brand new school?

ResourcesInformation and Communications Technology IRP Grades 11/12
Information and Communications IRP

Just the pathways, modules, and PLO's

Information and Communications Technology Integration ** Performance Standards **

** Process **
1. //Each member of your group will choose one Pathway to investigate.// Group Member 1 Applied Digital Communications Group Member 2 Digital Media Development Group Member 3 Computer Information Systems Group Member 4 Computer Programming If there is a 5th member they can investigate 3. Integration Model (see below) so that the rest of the members do not have to complete a second investigation.

// 2. Investigate Your Pathway // While investigating your designated pathway you will record the potential benefits and disadvantages of delivery these model.

Recommended Tool to record your ideas: iEtherpad

// 3. Investigate the Integration Model // After investigating your pathway and associated modules you read about the key components of the integration model for Information Communications Technology

Aspects Student Example One: Math 9/10 Student Example Two: Science 10 Present Your Investigation

// 4. Committee Reports // Present a summary of your designated pathway, the modules, the potential benefits and disadvantages of this pathway to your small group.

// 5. Committee Discussion // After you have heard a summary of all the ICT Pathways. · Review the pros and cons of each ICT Pathway · Discuss the pros and cons of an Integrated Model. · Discuss the possibilities of Modular Survey Option (a pathway combining modules from all four pathways)

** Create **
1. //Committee Decision and Proposal// Write a brief summary (at the bottom of the iEtherpad screen) describing which ICT curricular model you would propose for the new school and explain your reasoning.

** Share **
1. //Committee Presentation// Select one person to present your recommendation.

2. //Committee Submission// Export your Etherpad notes and summary as a Bookmark File Upload this file to the Class Wiki on the corresponding colour committee page Colour Committees: Brown Group Blue Group Cloud Group Orange Group Yellow Group Green Group Red Group No Colour Group

** Extend **
Your assignment is to observe the way in which Information and Communication Technologies is taught in your assigned school. 1. Which pathway has been adopted 2. What are benefits of this model? 3. What are the disadvantages? 4. What changes could be made to enhance dynamic purposeful use of technology at the school? 5. How would you describe the teachers’ and students’ attitudes, skills and knowledge of ICT? 6. Post your observations (along with your first name and last initial) to the **class wiki** on the page entitled ICT Observations
