Student Learning Outcomes:-
In referring to the
Key Information Technology
Outcomes (KITO's) and the Curriculum Profiles, learning objectives can be

of KITO's looked at for this lesson, is level 3 and the mode is Operations.
On completion of this lesson of work each child will be able to:-
Off-computer activities:-
Computer-based activities:-
Classroom Management and Evaluation Strategies:-
A set of class rules pertaining to the computer which has been negotiated by
the class will be posted on the notice board next to the computer. Any
infringements of these rules will occur penalties.
As computer facilities are
scarce, the computer will be put onto a roster which will be posted on the
notice board. This will keep a record of participation of each student. A
classroom management strategy will be that each student once they have completed
a session on the computer will write their name on the roster. In doing this the
children will have to take on some of the responsibility of their own learning
in having to organize themselves and their time management.
This will also
allow the teacher to keep an effective account of all the students and their
computers utilizing the computer i.e. monitor timetable to see which individuals
maybe offering resistance in using the computer.
Evaluation techniques that can be used during and after the unit of work are:
The results of the tests, samples of work etc will be included in the
children's individual profiles. This profile is constructed on an ongoing basis
to be used for teacher / parent interviews in assessing the child's overall
performance in line with the learning outcomes based on the curriculum profiles
for that particular grade.
