Rubric states:
"All the ICT tools used are relevant to the tasks and mediate and enhance the activities in the learning environment".
"The use of the ICT tools is innovative and significantly transforms classroom practices".

Hints

• Note that there are two criteria referring to ICT - relevance and innovative use
• Quite often ICT is used to engage the learners, but does not necessarily enhance the learning - in this situation it is not considered relevant.
• Using office applications in the classroom is no longer considered innovative in world terms, but may be innovative for a specific educator in a largely non-technical environment. We refer to this as context
• The use of standard office applications is not innovative, it needs to be used innovatively (Excel in Student Council Elections)
• Innovation potential lies in simple peripheral resources (Clipart in Spellbound Spelling)
• The Awards are not technology centred. Sophisticated use of robots and ICT (Don Quixote) is still subject to scrutiny on all other innovation criteria - it has to be a great educational project as well.
