I just realised I haven't posted what my 3 ICTs are going to be!
ICT(1) - Publisher
ICT(2) - Audacity
ICT(3) - Google/web searches
The activities are aimed at Year 7
Students are going to be constructing a review of an item of their choice (book, movie, game, cd etc). They will first construct it as an article in a newspaper/magazine in Publisher (with headings, images, by-lies etc).
Students with be using the WWW to search for RELEVANT images to include in this written format.
Students will then use Audacity to transform their written review into a spoken review (with a radio audience). The spoken review should include relevant sound clips and appropriate editing.
Ultimately, students' written reviews will be submitted to the school's newspaper and their spoke reviews saves to a CD and placed in the school library for student reference, giving the task a real life context.
Let me know what you think!
About Me
- erica.thompson
- I am a quarter of a century old and I have been living in Townsville for the past 2 years (and counting~!) Previous to Townsville, I lived for 2 years in Mobara, a city in the Chiba prefecture in Japan. I taught English there to children between the ages of 2 and 15. Japan is a fantastic place, and I hope to one day return there to continue my teaching. I spoke not a word of Japanese when I first moved there, but I quickly learnt the basics! After returning to Australia, I completed 2nd Year Japanese at university. I had to quit it, however, when the demands of the Education degree became too much. Having not spoken any Japanese in a while, I fear that I have forgotten most of it! However, I won't give up! When I have finished my Education degree, I plan to also finish my Language degree (part time while I teach). Before living in Townsville and Japan, I lived in Cairns with my Mum and Dad and my brother and my sister, and the family dog Billy.

Hi Erica,
I was impressed with your portfolio and your teaching experience. Japan must have been fun!
You seem to have covered all the criteria well. The only constructive comment I could think to add is that the page is very pink. I don't think this would be even relevant to mention for an ECE class but I am not sure if Grade 7 boys would be comfortable using a pink wiki page. This is such a nit-picky point but it was the only thing I could think to comment on.
Thanks for sharing. Good luck with your exams.
Cheers
Margaret
