Not only was the new Curriculum for Wales released this week, today I noticed that Digital Competence Framework (DCF) had been updated too. The older version had a very nice online interactive tool to filter through the framework and view classroom ideas, not so with this one yet. From what I read this may appear later in 2020. Can only be accessed via a spreadsheet which can be downloaded here. Spent a couple of hours copying and pasting the new Curriculum for Wales version of the DCF against the previous. What are the headlines?
Going to take another couple of days digesting what has been released before updating The Digital Den to reflect these changes.
- statements placed into 'Progression Steps (PS)' as per the new curriculum. PS1 (nursery / reception), PS2 (Yr1, 2 & 3) and PS3 (Yr4, 5 & 6).
- statements written in the format of "I can....". The previous said, "With increasing independence learners are able to...." or "Learners are able to.....".
- There are some changes to the new. From my initial view the statements appear clearer and easier to understand.
- Some of the headings have changed. For instance, under 'Citizenship', Online Behaviour and Cyerbullying has changed to Online Behaviour and Online Bullying. Under 'Producing', Planning Sourcing and Searching has changed to Sourcing, Searching and Planning Digital Content. A couple of other similar changes under Producing also.
- It doesn't look like anything major has been brought in or removed which I think would have happened if the more of the draft sections from the draft version of Science & Technology AoLE had been implemented.
