Suggested Activities
Ideally, each school should be developing
their own school curriculum plan - which would incorporate the school's
vision/mission and units which draw upon a range of outcomes from this
school mission and syllabus documents. The units developed would form
the basis of assessment and reporting. New Basics or IDEAS schools may
have more of a predetermined structure, but the journey is much the
same. School are set to tailor their educational experiences for the way
their particular students learn and according to the needs of
students in terms of local meaning and relevance.
To this end, it is impossible to
prescribe a set of computer learning activities suited for all students in all situations
and this must be tailored to the levels of particular class groups and
individuals. These are a set of suggestions form what teachers are
already doing in their journey toward an outcomes approach in their
classrooms. Keep in mind also the need for assessment when designing
computer activities, for there needs to be a strong inter-relationship
between planning, teaching and assessing/reporting in an outcomes
approach.
Along with the suggestions, there will be links to sites where an
outcomes approach is taken in the planning of integrated units which incorporate
the use of computers. These may be of assistance in taking the
suggestions from here one step further into the school's plan as it
develops. We will also in the longer term, provide some locally produced
examples at this site, and examples of what students may do in the
classroom.
