Year 8 students were planning their designs for their 'Impressionist' inspired landscape paintings. They used their Ipads to open the app 'Impressionist Effect'. Within this app the students opened a landscape image of their choice and applied the effect in order to make their image Ipressionist in style. Students then transferred these images to their canvases ready for painting.



My understanding of the SAMR model: Substitution: Doing the same old stuff with a new tool e.g. word doc to pages Augmentation: The new technology allows for some improvements. Modification: The new technology allows for the task to be redesigned. Redefinition: Tasks are imagined and completed that were not possible previously.

Notes on Australian ICT standards - english year 8: Students use digital texts to [|listen] to, [|read], [|view], interpret, evaluate and perform a range of spoken, written and multimodal texts in which the primary purpose is [|aesthetic], as well as texts designed to inform and persuade.

Year 9 English: In Years 9 and 10, students interact with peers, teachers, individuals, groups and community members in a range of face-to-face and online/virtual environments. They experience learning in familiar and unfamiliar contexts, including local community, vocational and global contexts.

My interpretation: In year 9 English, students are using ICT in online and virtual environments to interact with pers, teachers, groups and community members. They experience learning in global contexts - skype etc.
