ICT DIVISION TWO OUTCOMES


C.1 - Students will access, use and communicate information from a variety of technologies.

2.1 Access and retrieve appropriate information from the Internet by using a specific search path or from given uniform resource locations (URLs)
2.2 Organize information gathered from the Internet, or an electronic source, by selecting and recording the data in logical files or categories; and by communicating effectively, through appropriate forms, such as speeches, reports and multimedia presentations, applying information technologies that serve particular audiences and purposes

C.2 - Students will seek alternative viewpoints, using information technologies.

2.1 Seek responses to inquiries from various authorities through electronic media

C.3 - Students will critically assess information accessed through the use of a variety of technologies.

2.1 Identify and distinguish points of view expressed in electronic sources on a particular topic
2.2 Recognize that information serves different purposes and that data from electronic sources may need to be verified to determine accuracy or relevance for the purpose used

C.4 - Students will use organizational processes and tools to manage inquiry.

2.1 Design and follow a plan, including a schedule, to be used during an inquiry process, and make revisions to the plan, as necessary
2.2 Organize information, using such tools as a database, spreadsheet or electronic webbing
2.3 Reflect on and describe the processes involved in completing a project

C.5 - Students will use technology to aid collaboration during inquiry.

2.1 Retrieve data from available storage devices, such as a shared folder, to which a group has contributed
2.2 Record group brainstorming, planning and sharing of ideas by using technology
2.3 Extend the scope of a project beyond classroom collaboration by using communication technologies, such as the telephone and email

C.6 - Students will use technology to investigate and/or solve problems.

2.1 Select and use technology to assist in problem solving
2.2 Use data gathered from a variety of electronic sources to address identified problems
2.3 Use graphic organizers, such as mind mapping/webbing, flow charting and outlining, to present connections between ideas and information in a problem-solving environment
2.4 Solve problems, using numerical operations and such tools as calculators and spreadsheets
2.5 Solve problems requiring the sorting, organizing, classifying and extending of data, using such tools as calculators, spreadsheets, databases or hypertext technology
2.6 Solve issue-related problems, using such communication tools as a word processor or email to involve others in the process
2.7 Generate alternative solutions to problems by using technology to facilitate the process

C.7 - Students will use electronic research techniques to construct personal knowledge and meaning.

2.1 Use a variety of technologies to organize and synthesize researched information
2.2 Use selected presentation tools to demonstrate connections among various pieces of information

 

General Learner Expectations

Students will apply observation and inference skills to recognize and interpret patterns and to distinguish a specific pattern from a group of similar patterns

Students will apply knowledge of the properties of interactions of materials to the investigation and identification of a material sample

Specific Learner Expectations

Students will observe a set of footprints, and infer the direction and speed of travel
Students will recognize that evidence found at the scene of an activity may have unique characteristics that allow an investigator to make inferences about the participants and the nature of the activity, and give examples of how specific evidence may be used.
Students will investigate evidence and link it to a possible source by:
•Classifying footprints, tire prints and soil samples from a variety of locations
•Analyzing the ink from different pens using paper chromatography
•Analyzing handwriting samples to identify the handwriting of a specific person
•Comparing samples of fabric
•Classifying fingerprints collected from a variety of surfaces
