Teaching Areas: Business (Major), Science (Minor)
Curriculum Framework: Australian Curriculum
Focus Standards:

APST 2.6 – Implement teaching strategies for using ICT to expand curriculum learning opportunities

APST 3.4 – Select and use resources, including ICT, to engage students in their learning

APST 4.5 – Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically

🎯 Teaching Philosophy & Intent

As a future secondary educator, I believe technology should not merely replace traditional methods but enhance and transform learning. I aim to use ICT tools that promote collaboration, creativity, differentiation, and digital literacy, ensuring that every student is engaged and supported.

🛡️ Safe, Ethical and Responsible ICT Use (APST 4.5)

Protocols and Strategies:

Ensure all tools used meet school data privacy policies.

Explicitly teach students about cyber safety, plagiarism, and responsible communication.

Use Google Workspace permissions to control sharing and editing rights.

Moderate Padlet and Flip responses for respectful participation.

Include clear ICT Use Agreements in classroom rules and routines.

📈 Implementation in Classroom Practice

1. Lesson Planning:

Align each digital activity to content descriptors and learning outcomes.

Scaffold tasks to allow gradual student independence with tools.

2. Differentiation:

Use Flip and Google Docs to allow multimodal responses (written, audio, video).

Leverage Google Forms to assess prior knowledge and adjust instruction accordingly.

3. Assessment:

Use digital portfolios (Padlet or Google Sites) to track progress.

Provide real-time feedback through commenting tools.

4. Professional Development:

Stay updated on digital pedagogy by engaging with teacher communities and webinars.

Reflect on tool effectiveness via student feedback and data analysis.

📌 Example Unit Integration: Year 10 Business (Entrepreneurship)
