Technologically Speaking
locate, access, evaluate, manipulate, create, store and retrieve information
express ideas and communicate with others
understand the applications of technology in society
discriminate in their choice and use of appropriate technologies
develop the confidence to explore and adapt technological understandings and skills.
Learning experiences involving computer-based technologies provide students with the ability to:
Expressing ideas and communicating with others using computer-based
technologies
Use multimedia software to develop, organise and present mathematical information.
Create a photographic and text layout.
Use computer-based technologies to tabulate, analyse and display data
Discriminating in the choice and use of computer-based technologies
for a given purposeExplore the benefits of using computer software rather than pen and paper
Explore the benefits of using graphing plotter software, dynamic geometry packages and graphing calculators, rather than using pen and paper
Explore the benefits of using the Internet and dynamic geometry packages, rather than using pen and paper
Developing confidence to explore, adapt and shape technological
understandings now and in the future
Explore different ways of incorporating photographs and texts from the Internet into a document.
Identify the similarities between a familiar and a new graphics package
Explore the strengths of various forms of mathematical software

Villainy Inc quite involved with integration of literacy and auditory learning.Villainy, Inc is an animated story about Dr. Eugene Wick, ID, and his sidekick Platypus. Wick and "Platy" have ridiculously goofy plans to take over the world. For example, in Mission 1, Wick wants to turn the Gulf of Mexico into a golf course.
Your students will take on the role of an advisor to Dr. Wick's company, Villainy, Inc. Outwardly, they seem to go along with Wick's schemes. But, secretly, they are really working with the Anti-Villainy Unit (the AVU) as double agents, using their math skills to make sure Wick never succeeds.
Each story offers tongue-in-cheek dialogue along with comical animated characters and scenes that set the stage for mathematical success.
Villainy IncRequires a fair bit of time to go through the lead up and first couple of stages to the skills but skills are quite involved and leave room for a lot of discussion as a group activity. Higher level activities requiring good skills with percentages, fractions, decimals.

Wiki – sharing research and ideasAvailable in a variety of areas, some
included in other eLearning Tools.Ideally students contribute to the
material, relevant to the topic.Students need to properly reference
material contributed and often needs to be moderated by teacher for this.
