Digital Technologies Curriculum

How is your school going to deliver the curriculum?

From 2017 schools across Australia are mandated to begin implementing the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies. Programming, systems, design, computational and algorithmic thinking will be key components of learning for the future. Students need to grasp problem solving and computational thinking, they need to look at a problem in way that a computer can help them solve it. While teachers need to know how to apply this to the context of their school. Recognising how your school will deliver the curriculum is crucial.

The agenda focuses on:

• Managing the strategy & planning behind curriculum implementation
• Professional development to build teacher confidence
• Unpacking curriculum language, concepts & content descriptors
• Integrating digital technologies & computational thinking across existing learning
