=//Hi Group 31, I thought I would jump in and have a go at creating a Wiki for this task. I hope everyone is ok with me doing this! I am still trying to work out what I'm doing but for now I thought I would put up the task description. I was thinking it might be a good idea if we all had a different colour for our own text and that way it would be easy for us to identify each other without having to sign off our names each time we contributed.// = = = =//**27 Sept** We are finally all here!! I'm sorry about any mucking around trying to get it going, hopefully now we can all contribute smoothly. I have copied and pasted some of Julianne and Amy's work, if you guys want to change the colour to what you choose that would be great.// = = = = = =Choose your colour and list it here: = =Faye - red = = = =(I hope this is ok)= **//Assessment Task 3 - Classroom planning and Rationale//

Task Description** This is a collaborative group task. You will work in groups of 4 or 5 to plan this assessment task. It is to be a shared task - each group member will have a role to play in the development of the learning sequence. The series of four lessons will be collaboratively developed and assessed as will the rationale. In assessment task 2 you evaluated three web-based learning resources. In this assessment task you will plan (as part of a group of 4 or 5) a learning sequence using one of the learning resources a member of your group evaluated in assessment task 2 and other ICT-based resources. Your learning sequence must be cross-disciplinary in nature - that is, you must not plan a sequence based on ICT, but rather, must ensure that you are using ICT as a tool for learning. This learning sequence is to be an inquiry-based project. In order to undertake this assessment task you must do the following as part of a group of 4 or 5:

There are a few things to note with electronic submission:
 * **describe** the student cohort (who are you planning for?)
 * **craft** a question which students will explore (the question must relate to another curriculum area - not ICT)
 * **plan** a sequence of four lessons through which students will respond to the inquiry you have establised. Each lesson will be 50 minutes in length. Each lesson will build on the one before and provide multiple ways for students to publish their findings
 * **provide** a list of ICT-related resources you will use in this learning sequence
 * **describe** how you will use each of these resources to enhance student learning
 * **reflect** on why these are the most appropriate resources to use for this class to explore this question
 * **reflect** on the implications of this learning sequence for your teaching practice ||
 * **Task length** || 2000 words (total) ||
 * **Links to unit’s learning outcomes** || 1, 2, 4 & 5 ||
 * || # Design learning experiences that integrate information and communication technologies across the curriculum
 * 1) Understanding of the place of ICT in enhancing student learning
 * 2) Reflection: on resource use and implications for teaching
 * 3) Work collaboratively with others in achieving a shared task ||
 * **Date due** || Week 25: Friday October 9 ||
