1 Connecting the ICT Standards with Grade 1 Literacy Idea What it Could Look Like How ICT Connects GRADE 1 Class Alphabet Book Each student illustrates a page for a specific letter in KidPix. Using SlideShow the work of the class is combined together and each student narrates their own slide with their voice. **How to make an Alphabet Book in KidPix** **How to make a SlideShow in KidPix** Curriculum Expectations: Language Overall Expectations Writing communicate ideas (thoughts, feeling, experiences) for specific purpose (e.g., write a letter to a friend describing a new pet) use some materials from other media (e.g., computer clip-art) to enhance their writing begin to revise written work, with the assistance of the teacher Reading read a variety of simple written materials (e.g., signs, pattern books, rhymes, children s reference books) for different proposes (e.g., for practice, information, vocabulary building, enjoyment) Oral and Visual Communication communicate messages, and follow basic instructions and directions ICT STUDENT STANDARDS Communication and Collaboration with assistance, communicate ideas and information using pictures and text (e.g., publish a narrative using KidPix SlideShow) Productivity and Applications begin to edit text and images within a document (e.g., modify colour of font, add clip art, erase images)

2 Idea What it Could Look Like How ICT Connects GRADE 1 Electronic Diagrams Using the drawing tools, students can draw the computer (or anything they are learning about!) and then label the different parts. Their diagrams can be printed and posted for the reference of other students. **More KidPix Ideas for Grade 1** Curriculum Expectations: Language Overall Expectations Writing organize information so that the writing conveys a clear message produce short pieces of writing using simple forms (stories, descriptions, lists of info) Reading use some conventions of written materials (e.g.; punctuation, title) to help them understand what they read Oral and Visual Communication communicate messages, and follow basic instructions and directions create some simple media works ICT STUDENT STANDARDS Communication and Collaboration create a diagram using drawing tools to depict a personally significant place (e.g., classroom, park, bedroom) Productivity and Applications accomplish curriculum-based tasks by using tool software (e.g., create a pictograph in KidPix)
