Description

Digital Literacy is every teacher’s responsibility. With the introduction of the Digital Technologies curriculum in 2018, which focuses on computational thinking and other technical skills, many schools and teachers have been left wondering how to address ICT General Capability.

The results of the 2022 NAPICT assessment suggest that less than half of Year 10 students meet the proficiency standard for Digital Literacy and the results are similar for Year 6 students. Thus, there has never been a better time to consider how we can strengthen student digital literacy.

Join AISWA and Grok Academy, as we take a deep dive into the Digital Literacy General Capability. In this ongoing professional learning project, we examine each of the elements of Digital Literacy and explore a variety of integration and implementation strategies within different learning areas. With a focus on practical and actionable strategies, participants will have opportunities to critique and adapt existing lesson plans to strengthen Digital Literacy learning. 

This project is suitable for any educator with a priority or interest in ICT integration and enhancing student digital literacy. Participants will engage in six brief modules of learning that will take place outside of school hours. For flexibility, each module will be offered online and in person. The project offers the opportunity to partake in a professional learning community that aims to enhance practice and share resources. 

Regional and remote participants are encouraged to register.
