A selection of our modules within C&P B contain a Digital Badge Tasks that students must complete in order to access the next module. Tasks are designed to offer opportunities for staff feedback, scaffold students towards completing components of an upcoming assessments, or to prepare them for planning and teaching of microteaching sessions. You will notice that some Digital Badge Tasks focus on one specific curriculum area while others capture learning across a number of curriculum areas.

Descriptions of each of the Digital Badge Tasks for C&P B are shown below:

 

 

Module 3: 

In this module students will have planned and taught their first Science Microteaching lesson following the Inquiry-Based 5Es Model. In this task students are asked to collect evidence of student understanding during this lesson, and analysis this against their Learning Intentions to develop learning intentions for their second lesson. This task scaffolds students towards using formative assessment to guide a trajectory of learning and contributes to their Science Assessment. 

 

Module 3:

Computational Thinking in Technolgoy. This digital badge task looks at contextualising computational thinking in stories and pūrākau of significance to our students. Students are asked to complete a basic unplugged coding task and analyse their problem solving process for components of Computational Thinking such as algorithmic thinking, abstraction, pattern recognition, and debugging. 

 

Module 6:

Planning for a connected curriculum lesson series. In preparation for Assignment three, students are asked to work collaboratively to brainstorm concepts that could be used to guide a short series of lessons that draws on the Technology Curriculum and the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum. This digital badge task scaffolds students towards establishing a contextual focus for their connected lesson, ensuring lesson are built around an authentic concept, as well as making sure there are strong connections to curriculum specific learning in both ANZHC and Technology. Feedback from staff is then provided with the intention of being used when developing the lesson series based on this mahi.
