Information and communication technology (ict) within the curriculm.
Through the creation and implementation of the ‘digital capabilities framework’, the Australian Curriculum aims to facilitate educators’ understanding of the importance of information and communication technology within the curriculum (ACARA, n.d.). By using this framework as a guide, teachers can ensure that they are encouraging their students to continue developing the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to make ICT work for them at school, at home, at work, and in the community. It is extremely important to acquire these skills at a young age. Having access to information and communications technology is an essential component of participating in a knowledge-based economy and having a voice in a technologically advanced society of today and tomorrow.
It is imperative for students to understand the importance of positive digital citizenship before they can effectively learn these ICT skills. By using the lessons and digital resources created below, the aim is to ensure that students are aware of the impact their online actions may have on themselves and others. This is both now and in the future. The goal is to teach them to be responsible digital citizens, and to hold them accountable for what they do online.
