very important tho need 2 develop skills sometimes #ukedchat

@didactylos #ukedchat guiding principle is that skills are long term

skills and are not 'gadget' or software related Completely agree!

ianaddison 20:02

@islayian i imagine english as we only focus on that! probably wrong,

but hopefully everyone will benefit #ukedchat

philallman1 20:02

#ukedchat ICT should increasingly become capability at KS2 like it is atKS3. Using and applying it is crucial - end of discrete subject?


#ukedchat - The model that one curriculum fits all is out dated, A

curriculum needs to be flexible so can be relevant to the target

learners

islayian 20:03

@ianaddison As I suspected so not really #ukedchat then?

ianaddison 20:03

skills should be taught, but let's teach how to 'do a presentation' and

not how to 'do a powerpoint' #ukedchat

Baggiepr 20:03

#ukedchat guiding principle prove you are web safe = greater web

tools to use. Responsibility determines level of access.

janwebb21 20:03

skills are long term skills and are not 'gadget' or software related

Completely agree!

chrismayoh 20:04

Needs to be relevant. QCA was supposed to be an exemplar but was so

complete as a scheme that it was often used out of the box #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:04

@ianaddison skills that we need to teach need to transcend thesoftware #ukedchat

@islayian i can't discuss scottish or welsh as i have no experience, we

welcome you to contribute though. We have a wide audience

#ukedchat

Catriona_O 20:04

#ukedchat skills need to be grounded in purpose : ICT curriculum??

should ICT not underpin ALL of the curriculum?

didactylos 20:04

#ukedchat so the time validated skills are facilitated and improved by

the use of new technology

Ideas_Factory 20:04

#ukedchat So what kind of principles can be applied that will be 'future-

proof'?

next year #ukedchat

there is no opportunity to actually present it!? #ukedchat

uk we are in?

BryanPlumb 20:06

The importance of e-safety and implications of ones own actions.

#ukedchat


#ukedchat Is this ICT curriculum or just 'curriculum? Just want

clarification

mberry 20:06

OK, I don't /think/ you can have an ICT curriculum without some skillsand knowledge, but I suspect it's attitudes which are key #ukedchat

didactylos 20:06

@ianaddison #ukedchat is it the doing that is taught or the

understanding of what makes quality that is encouraged?

squiggle7 20:06

children need to know how to find things out when they don't know

how to use bits of ICT. Teach them how to use help files etc #ukedchat

colport 20:06

A key principle, for me, is how to use internet safely. From KS1 and

onwards and throughout. #ukedchat

Ideas_Factory 20:06

#ukedchat Every curriculum needs focus-looking first at principles then

skills and finally capability tonight 3part session

ianaddison 20:07

@didactylos i would (and will) teach how to use different software, but

also points like choice of colour/style, layout etc #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:07

@mberry attitudes and transferrable skills - so need to teach in

context so choices about applying skills are taught #ukedchat

ParsleyBill 20:07

#ukedchat Children should be taught language-based principles that

underpin use of new ICT media e.g. podcasts, digital movies &

animation.

frogphilp 20:09

@didactylos #ukedchat - effect of ICT is felt across curriculum. It is a

pillar for many other things so it's curriculum is integral to all

squiggle7 20:09

@colport typing skills a MUST in my opinion, having just discovered my

year 4 class can't type

colport 20:09

@philallman1 Totally agree. Do any primary teachers still teach ICT asa distinct subject? #ukedchat

Mr_Thorne 20:09

Gear ICT to fit cross-curricular teaching, children will learn their ICT

skills incidentally #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:09

@kvnmcl they are also more discerning #ukedchat


@ianaddison @didactylos and the listening part so they can get

feedback! Feedback is a gift! #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:09

@philallman1 seems like this is quite a common train of thought

#ukedchat

Crosbiei 20:09

#ukedchat Why should any subject be taught discretely when they are

all intertwined in adult life?

bevevans22 20:09

@chrismayoh @ForesterJo Our pupils are expected to 'present' any

ppts, prezis etc. in front of class for peer evaluation #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:09

RT @philallman1: @colport I don't think in isolation. The ICT currshould be embedded in the rest of the curriculum. #ukedchat

ianaddison 20:10

@didactylos but skills such as 'not putting too much text on the pres

and reading it all out loud' need to be taught. ppt or prezi #ukedchat

mberry 20:10

@colport add "and responsibly" to "safely" - cyberbullying and loss of

innocence are big issues. #ukedchat

tobyholman 20:10

@philallman1 Agree. Core skills through ICT, additional through other.

More implementation #ukedchat

Ideas_Factory 20:11

#ukedchat What about using lateral/creative thinking skills?

ianaddison 20:11

@colport our school teaches ICT completely discretely. I will change

that over the coming year. #ukedchat

the same ease of use, you can't put in too many tools. Focus.

@didactylos i'd rather my children knew about 3 or 4 different tools to

present their work, I will teach ppt, but also others too #ukedchat

anyway?

ICTtower 20:12

@Crosbiei Because some skills need to be taught by specialist staff so

that non-specialists can concentrate on content #ukedchat

@simonhaughton of course, or kizoa...lots out there, but limited on

space. lots of tools, some similar, some diff #ukedchat

How many teachers of ICT ask rest of school which skills are NOT

needed? #ukedchat

Teaching of ICT is dependent on school resources though. u can't

embed it across the curriculum if all u have is a laptop trolley

#ukedchat

didactylos 20:15

@JaneDavis13 #ukedchat really starting to dislike the term 'soft skills'its a label that immediately devalues

ForesterJo 20:15

@bevevans22 think this may be how we have to make the shift but

skills taught in way that fit for purpose #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:15

@mberry I'm very keen that the context should be relevant and real =

about - cropping & use of digital images. #ukedchat

Look at work of Mike Askew - best teachers are those that make links

@kvnmcl totally agree, but when it doesn't work, it's always with Doristhe unconfident teacher #ukedchat


Resources (kit) vital. If a laptop in everyhome why not for every year 4

@DeputyMitchell We need to send you in with some of your kids! That

would convince them of use of tech in other subjects! #ukedchat

@ianaddison do learners ever complain of their tech not working? they

Good model of eCPD delivery: cascading just in time delivery utilising

viral learning via social networks, PLNs #ukedchat it works here!
