Applying Social and Ethical Protocols and Practices When Using ICT

As mentioned in the previous post, This is the top section, or organising element, of the ICT general capability. As the title explains, it is concerned with the socially and ethically responsible use of ICT. It involves students developing an understanding of what intellectual property for digital information is, how they can recognise this for their own work as well as others, and then apply this knowledge when creating and sharing information online (ACARA, 2014). For the full ICT General Capability description, click here. The Australian Curriculum breaks this organising element down into four distinct categories:
  • Recognise intellectual property
  • Apply digital information security practices
  • Apply personal security protocols
  • Identify the impacts of ICT in society (ACARA, 2014)
From this, the curriculum website provides a brief description of each of the four elements, which are divided into different levels along a 'learning continuum'. As we are a year 6 class, according to the Australian Curriculum, we fit into level 4 of the learning continuum. Click here to check out the learning continuum.
