8. Key Concepts and Ideas

8.1. Students develop knowledge, understanding and skills to analyse, create and problem-solve digital technology in an increasingly technology challenged world. Engage students in a range of learning experiences through 'authentic' tasks for Digital Technology and Design & Technologies. Providing authentic learning challenges encourages communication and collaboration for all students. The teaching of technology requires 'authentic' learning experiences that allows students to; - Develop systems, designs and computational thinking - Create digital solutions - Create product, service and environment designed solutions
