Due Date:  5pm, Saturday, 3rd May

Assignment Type:  Professional ICT portfolio- two (2) responses and one (1) sample of ICT learning

Word Count:  1350 words

Weighting:  34%

Format:  The portfolio will be submitted using a Word document (Turnitin), however, it may be

created and presented digitally in either: MS Word, Prezi, or a wiki.

Assignment Outline: 

You will create a Professional ICT portfolio based on the topics, content and readings within Module 3 as you reflect

on, and ‘sample’, your ICT learning.

Your assignment will consist of two (2) parts:

Part A (professional reflections) and Part B (sample) related to the module.

PART A – PROFESSIONAL REFLECTIONS: (60%)

Prepare two professional reflections (400 words each), based on the reading/s and discussion for two topics of this

Module. You should focus on the concepts as they apply to you as a learner  and also as a teacher . You must include

the reference/s and in text references to support your reflections.

Select two topics and reflection question/s:

 

TOPIC 1 - ICT Concepts and Skills

 

TOPIC 2 - Applied ICT in the Classroom

  TOPIC 3 - ICT and Pedagogy

These reflections are best if completed weekly after your online or tutorial activities and readings. 

The reflection questions and readings are those from the Module 3 weekly Study Scaffold. 

For convenience, they are also copied into this document (p. 4).  

PART B – SAMPLE AND ANNOTATION ABOUT YOUR ICT LEARNING (40%)

The ‘sample’ should showcase an aspect of your ‘new’ ICT learning selected from the content of the ICT Module, or a

new skill/topic, and should include consideration of the professional application of the ICT (550 words for the

sample plus image/screen grab of the ICT learning).

The ‘sample’ should include: 

  Summary and screen grab of the ICT (screen shot and outline the specific ICT used).

  Annotation of new learning: briefly outline what it was you learnt as you explored the ICT.

 

Link to the classroom: explicitly link to a lesson idea, unit of work or an online resource.

 

Link/reference to syllabus/curriculum to highlight where the idea may fit in your curriculum area.

  Future use: include a brief point about how you will use the ‘new’ ICT within your teaching in the future.

Marking Criteria:

  make evident depth of reflection and engagement with readings and module topics (for learning and

teaching)

  present new ICT learning linked to curriculum area specialisation

 

use clear, accurate language (including spelling and grammar) for professional purposes.

Compulsory reading for Module 3: Available in eReadings of unit:

Churchill, R., Ferguson, P., Godinho, S., Johnson, N., & Keddie, A., Letts, W., et al. (2011). Teaching: Making a

difference. Milton, QLD: John Wiley. pp. 306-335. 

 __________________________________________________________________________________

Assignment Notes:Format:

- the assignment will be submitted as one document in MS Word format, including inserted screen shots and

images of websites and work sample of learning. (These images may have been created with other software,

but must be inserted into the final Word document for submission.)

- the two Parts should be clearly indicated by sub-headings.

- the two professional reflections should be clearly indicated by sub-headings.

- the ICT Sample should be clearly labelled.

Language: 

As a document for professional planning, ‘first’ person may be appropriate, however, its excessive use is not

appropriate (‘padding’). The language and structure used within the assignment should be professional (no

contractions or abbreviations).

Referencing:

As a document of professional writing, showing one’s skills in reflection on issues and concepts, referencing

to other works is required . Correct APA 6th

 referencing (see the School’s Student Information Guide, and SCU

guidelines) should be used. Use in-text referencing and hyperlinks, and include a final reference list (not abibliography).

Audience: 

The intended audience for this analysis and planning could be teaching colleagues, a Principal, or teaching

supervisor. The document could be the basis for a professional development presentation where you could

demonstrate your ICT teaching knowledge and skills.

TOPIC 1 - ICT Concepts and Skills 

Reflection Question:

 After reading about ‘digital natives and digital immigrants’  discuss the influences upon your approach to

learning ICT, and how you think this may affect you as a teacher.

OR 

Do you believe in the concept of ‘digital natives and digital immigrants’? Why or why not? Is there a valid

Reflection Question: 

Discuss the model of application of ICT in the classroom as proposed by Koehler and Mishra (TPCK). What are

There are a range of issues and approaches to ICT (and pedagogy) identified in Chapter 10 of Churchill et al.

(2011); discuss one issue or approach from the chapter, making reference to your teaching area/curriculum

 functionality of the equipment or other more specific concerns and restrictions (Chapter 10).
