Task One is a portfolio of local and international events that have the capacity to impact curriculum. These themes will be explored in face to face classes. You are to choose 5 issues that appear in the media. These issues may be social, political or environmental in nature; they may cross borders or be specific to a national or local setting. They must come from 5 different sources.
The sources of information might be categorised as;
State-based or National (Australian),
Online Exclusive (e.g. ONLY available on the Web),
International media reports (outside Australia) and
Unfiltered Expression. E.g. Web Blog
Print media
(Note: these sources will also be the references for the portfolio).
Your portfolio of 5 independent pieces should include:
An appropriate rationale as to why these events impact curriculum
How, Why and When these issues impact curriculum
Examples of Strategic and Operational impact on education
An artefact for each topic (image, screen shot of a web page, scan of a news article, cut & paste from blog, etc….as evidence of the material in its original format)
