Assessment for Digital Technologies (Oct 2018)
This webinar will walk you through an approach to generate assessment activities using Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy. Rebecca will demonstrate how to use the achievement standards and content descriptors as a guide for breaking down and identifying the skills, behaviours and knowledge you are seeking students to demonstrate. We’ll refer to the use of checklists, student interviews (think alouds) and rubrics. We will also use the SOLO Taxonomy as a way of differentiating a task and using this as a basis for assessment.

GenAI readiness and implementation modules
As generative AI (GenAI) becomes an increasingly important tool in education, it's essential for teachers to understand both its potential and its limitations. This two-module offering equips teachers with the knowledge and practical skills to use GenAI tools like Copilot effectively in the classroom. Teachers will enhance their own digital literacy while learning how to guide students in using AI responsibly and thoughtfully. By focusing on teacher readiness and practical classroom strategies, the modules support the development of students who can navigate AI in both classroom and everyday contexts. The modules were developed in collaboration with Microsoft.
