 Each activity within the major assignment will be graded using the above criteria and an average mark out of 17 will be assigned.

Maximum total for this section = 17


Technology Integration

5 - Technology is used to support problem solving, information management, communications, decision making or productivity skills. The activity would not be possible without the use of technology. The application of technology takes advantage of technology’s unique attributes.

4 - Technology is used to support problem solving, information management, communications, decision making or productivity skills. The activity is more likely to occur because of the technology. The application of technology takes advantage of technology’s unique attributes.

3 - Technology is used to support problem solving, information management, communications, or decision making or productivity skills. The activity is enhanced because of the technology used. The application of technology takes advantage of technology’s revision and presentation capabilities.

2 - Technology is used to support productivity skills. The activity makes trivial use of technology. The application of technology is not necessary and can be accomplished more easily through other means.

1 - Technology is used to support productivity skills. The activity makes inappropriate use of technology. The application of technology is not necessary and can be accomplished more easily through other means.

Each activity within the major assignment will be graded using the above criteria and an average mark out of 5 multiplied by a factor of 4 will be assigned.

Overall Project

5 - The overall project effectively balances the development of student skills in both the standard curriculum and the new technology outcomes. All of the activities are constructivist strategies (e.g. involving teaming and/or small group collaboration) used to developed higher cognitive level outcomes such as problem solving, decision making, and inquiry (or the activities have a logical and necessary progression in the development of higher cognitive skills and this concurs with the Technology Program of Studies). All three activities are meaningfully integrated into a project.

4 - The overall project effectively balances the development of student skills in both the standard curriculum and the new technology outcomes. Most (4) of the activities are constructivist strategies (e.g. involving teaming and/or small group collaboration) used to developed higher cognitive level outcomes such as problem solving, decision making, and inquiry. At least two activities are meaningfully integrated into a project.

3 - The overall project effectively balances the development of student skills in both the standard curriculum and the new technology outcomes. Two to three of the activities are constructivist strategies (e.g. involving teaming and/or small group collaboration) used to developed higher cognitive level outcomes such as problem solving, decision making, and inquiry. The activities are not connected to each other as a part of a larger a project.

2 - The overall project focuses more on the technology outcomes rather than the standard curriculum. Activities may be constructivist in nature but are used to develop lower level cognitive skills. The activities are not connected to each other as a part of a larger a project.

1 - The overall project focuses mostly on the technology outcomes rather than the standard curriculum. Most activities are not constructivist in nature and are used to develop lower level cognitive skills. The activities are not connected to each other as a part of a larger a project.
