Creating with ICTs is evident throughout this Wiki through the Student page. Students are required to create ICTs by generating new ideas, planning, monitoring and reflecting while being creative and imaginative as they create new understandings (Education Queensland, 2010). It is also evident that Bloom's taxonomy applies as students are required to analyse and synthesise their ideas. It is the job of the teacher to allow students the opportunity to explore each of the six categories of Bloom's taxonomy in order to teach effectively.

Cross Curricular Priorities

There are three cross curricular priorites, they are:


 * 1) Language
 * 2) Literacy
 * 3) Communicating with ICTs
