This work sample forms part of the assessment map for Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Other parts of the ICT assessment map can be accessed by using the menu on the right side of the screen.
The ICT Level 3 standards describe what students should know and be able do at this level.
The assessment task which generated this work sample was designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate achievement of selected elements of the standard. The work sample illustrates progress towards, but does not fully demonstrate achievement of, the selected elements of the standard.
Context
Students were asked to develop their understanding of how changes to the salinity of the Murray River would affect the environment. Students gathered information from a variety of sources including websites, books, newspapers and film, and were required to use concept mapping software and a range of techniques to assist in developing their understanding of the causes and effects of the salinisation process. This component relates to the ICT for visualising thinking dimension, and is the focus of this sample.
Based on understandings developed from this task and other learning activities, students produced a poster demonstrating their knowledge of the impact of this salinisation process on the environment. The poster would be assessed against the ICT for creating dimension.
The element of the ICT for visualising thinking Level 3 standard addressed by the task is:
(Students) use ICT tools to list ideas, order them into logical sequences, and identify relationships between them.
Sample
This work sample, and the related ICT 2.75 progression point examples, illustrates the kinds of responses that students produce as they progress towards the Level 3.
