Your Task

Create a strategic plan for using creative technologies in your teaching. You should use the following format for your strategic plan:

Introduction

Introduce the strategic plan (i.e. the whole assessment task not just the lesson overviews).

Educational context

Describe the school, the physical space where teaching occurs, the year level, and the students in the class explaining any factors that may affect their learning.

Rationale

Use research to justify your intended teaching strategies as well as to justify the use of ICT in order to address the curriculum. Explain any strategies to support the safe, responsible, and ethical use of ICT.

Lesson Overviews

Design sequenced lesson content for 5 lessons including curriculum links, lesson objectives, preparation & resources, learning activities, and assessment.

Professional learning

Prepare and justify your own personal plan for professional learning around the use of ICT. Include any implications for improved student learning
