Why? The Facts?
- Due to the abundance of commercial and informative information published on the internet, Lane Potter (n.d.) asserts that students in year 1 need to develop critical thinking skills to be wise consumers of data. Like reading a book, students have to develop an awareness of how the reader is being positioned and the influence of sponsorship, in addition to new vocabulary which is ICT specific.
- Year 1 students need to be multiliterate because meaning is made in ways that are increasingly multimodal, therefore linguistic modes of meaning interface with oral, visual, audio, gestural, tactile, and spatial patterns of meaning (Cope & Kalantzis, 2000).
- Inquiry based learning is seen as a way to support students curiosity and encourage questioning and make discoveries. Technology can be used to organise inquiry, change how learners approach problem solving, and connect them with real world scenarios (Luckin, et al., 2012).
