SUMMARY OF JOINT UNDERSTANDING
The Major ICT Integration Project involves developing a problem-based task for a specified group of students. Our task is to develop four sequential lesson plans relating to our chosen topic of “Under The Sea”. The four lessons must all integrate ICT and promote thinking tools such as problem solving in a social constructivist learning environment. The ICT Integration Project is centered on social constructivism, this involves students creating their own knowledge through critical thinking, collaborative activities and the presentation of their ideas. The ICT Integration Project involves us creating a Teacher’s Page through a Wiki, in which we will also present our assignment for the students.The Teacher’s Page will include our concept map which contains our ideas for the project, including lesson ideas, links to other documents, learning area outcomes and the integration of ICT. The Teacher’s Page will also include organisational aspects for the assignment including a Project Management Plan involving the division of duties and time frames. Four lesson plans, resources, an evaluation rubric and a reflection page to compile the information they have learned will also be included in the Teacher’s Page. The Wiki the students must complete will be in the form of a WebQuest which we will created for a primary school year four target audience. Through this WebQuest, students must research information relating to the specific topic of “Under The Sea” and complete certain activities and tasks that integrate different types of ICT.
