Information and Communications Technology Assessment Map – Sample at Level 3
Samples are available for the following tasks:
Using a graphic organiser to sequence events
Context
Students were asked to use a familiar software tool, such as word processing, to assist in structuring their ideas about the history of clocks. Students extracted information from websites and books on the history of clocks, and charted the developmental sequence of clocks using shapes, colours and directional arrows. This component relates to the ICT for visualising thinking dimension and is the focus of this sample.
Based on understandings developed from this and other learning activities, students then chose a format such as a talk or a poster to demonstrate their knowledge of the history of clocks.
The elements of the ICT for visualising thinking Level 3 standard addressed by the task are:
(Students) use ICT tools to list ideas, order them into logical sequences, and identify relationships between them.

Annotation
ICT for visualising thinking – Level 3
- Sequences developments in logical order, using directional arrows to highlight relationships.
- Classifies categories of clocks (fixed and personal) through colour coding − black filling for fixed clocks; blue filling for clocks that are worn.
- Selects a circular shape to match the topic, which is clearly identified.
- Manipulates fonts and shapes by changing sizes and colour.
Element of the standard
(Students) use ICT tools to list ideas, order them into logical sequences, and identify relationships between them.
