This scoop.it collection includes articles, lesson plan ideas and examples of ICT tools which will assist in supporting my pedagogy and learning design using technology in the classroom at a redefinition level. My collection is targeted towards my learning areas of Business and Legal Studies and can be found at http://www.scoop.it/t/business-legal-studies-icts-for-learning-des. I have provided curator’s insights for each of the artefacts I have scooped to add value and “construct and reconstruct information to create new knowledge and promote/support learning” (Higher Education Academy, 2015).
My digital curation collection also supports me in meeting two of the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership’s (AITSL) Professional Standards for Teachers (2014). Standard 6.2 requires teachers to “understand the relevant and appropriate sources for professional learning” and “participate in learning to update knowledge and practice, targeted to professional needs and school and/or system priorities” (AITSL, 2014). Additionally, standard 7.4 requires teachers to “understand the role of external professionals and community representatives in broadening teachers’ professional knowledge and practice” and “participate in professional and community networks and forums to broaden knowledge and improve practice” (AITSL, 2014).
The artefact that I have selected as stimulus for my learning sequence is the link titled ‘Interviews with entrepreneurs – Entrepreneurship – Khan Academy’. I have contributed an expanded curator’s insight to this link which details how I see these videos fitting into a unit of work targeted towards a Year 7 business and economics class. The videos, found under the Entrepreneurship section of the Kahn Academy (2017) provide an engaging way for students to explore entrepreneurial behaviours and how they link to a successful business. The videos allow students to relate the topic to the real world as they will be familiar with the brands discussed and possibly the people that are interviewed.
I believe that an effective learning sequence can be developed around this stimulus as it provides a starting point for the development of a student led, problem-based learning experience that is authentic, targets higher order thinking skills and promotes collaboration amongst the students.
