Spreadsheet tools, such as Google Sheets, can be used for comparing data sets (e.g. frequency of specific sci-fi vocabulary occurring in two novel chapters or survey results of sci-fi reading habits of students) with the data presented using graphing software.

Additionally, Venn diagrams could be used to organise and visually demonstrate frequency of sci-fi vocabulary appearing in two (or more) novels.]]> 2022-06-09 09:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonyfisherelectricsheep/43wnb44dq4yss4ov/wish/2216113848 Critical and Creative Thinking - ICT Capability anthonyfisherelectricsheep https://padlet.com/anthonyfisherelectricsheep/43wnb44dq4yss4ov/wish/2216187071 Students pose questions about the literature and investigate online for relevant information and ideas.

Literature research collected in Padlet or Waklet can visually connects ideas or generates new ones to be explored. Alternatives may be considered if research collected is insufficient. 

Students predict what might happen in a novel and put ideas together using Google Docs to be shared with peers and commented on. They identify the plot structure of the novel and explain how the dilemma(s) in the narrative were solved. 
 
Furthermore, they may explore different endings to a story and give reasons why they think it might be a better ending. This could be present with a digital presentation tool, such as Prezi.]]> 2022-06-09 11:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonyfisherelectricsheep/43wnb44dq4yss4ov/wish/2216187071 Personal and Social - ICT Capability anthonyfisherelectricsheep https://padlet.com/anthonyfisherelectricsheep/43wnb44dq4yss4ov/wish/2216222316 Students develop personal and social skills as they engage with others in online collaborative workspaces, and develop effective communication skills as they work cooperatively to share ideas and resources; make team decisions; resolve conflicts and demonstrate leadership.

They collaborate in collaborative workspaces, such as Padlet, Wakelet or Google Docs, on resources and respond with own perspectives.

Students create a digital presentation using Prezi or Photo Story to create a response to literatures of cultural identities and issues. ]]> 2022-06-10 03:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonyfisherelectricsheep/43wnb44dq4yss4ov/wish/2217024890 ICT - ICT Capability anthonyfisherelectricsheep https://padlet.com/anthonyfisherelectricsheep/43wnb44dq4yss4ov/wish/2217075537 Students present literacy works through a wide range of written, oral, visual, multimodal and digital texts to share with others their responses to texts and ideas for interest, information and engagement. 

They use such tools as Google Docs, Google Slides, Blogger, Wiki, Prezi, Audacity and MovieMaker to create and present their literacy works.

They investigate copyright and fair use guidelines through websites, such as SmartCopying and apply knowledge when designing, creating and sharing digital literacy works.

They develop online safeguarding skills and how to protect private accounts and data through web safety websites and modules, such as eSafety.

For example, students read the Philip K. Dick novel ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep’ and view the movie adaption ‘Blade Runner’, to examine issues of discrimination, genetic cloning, environmental damage through human activities and the development of artificial intelligence. 

Students evaluate how the characters view these issues and what impacts they have on their lives. This could be shared through Google Docs for peer feedback and exchange of ideas. 

Students make judgements on how accurate the literature reflects modern and future society, and present arguments from an ethical view on how society should proceed. For example, genetic manipulation and cloning are topics in the literature. Is it ethical that we “play God’? Present an argument using Google Slides with an embedded narration for each slide. ]]> 2022-06-10 06:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/anthonyfisherelectricsheep/43wnb44dq4yss4ov/wish/2217188525
