Do you need more ideas on how to implement the new History syllabus for 2014?
Have you had a chance to look at the new NSW History Syllabus?
The delivery of ICT capabilities in the new syllabus can ensure the successful implementation of the new History syllabus in your school setting.
This project will give you the skills, ideas and confidence to create assessment tasks, teaching programs and effective feedback required for student success in History.
The new History Syllabus requires teachers to think more creatively and innovately to allow their students to do the same as well as work collaboratively, improve communication, and to allow for critical thinking. Within this project, teachers will cover all these areas and have an assessment task and start a teaching program that allows for this.
Who is this course for?
Department of Education and Communities Employees only.
This course will show you how to successfully integrate ICT into the new NSW History Syllabus.
7 - 10 History teachers only due to its implementation requirement in 2014.
A History teacher or Head Teacher who will take back to school the new assessment tasks and teaching programs to be implemented for 2013.
Use the device your school uses (T4L machine, tablet or DER laptop) to its full potential and start your students on the road to successful ICT practice.
