What is Year 10 Digital Technology?
What is Year 10 Digital Technology?
Digital Technology enables students to become confident and creative developers of digital solutions. Students apply information systems and develop problem solving skills. Students acquire a deep knowledge and understanding of digital systems, data and information and the processes associated with creating digital solutions so they can take up an active role in meeting current and future needs.
This subject has been designed to provide practical opportunities for students to explore the capacity of information systems to transform data into digital solutions through the application of computational, design and systems thinking.
About the subject
About the subject
Digital Technology aims to ensure that students can:
design, create, manage and evaluate digital solutions to meet and redefine current and future needs
use computational thinking and the key concepts of abstraction; data collection, representation and interpretation; specification, algorithms and development to create digital solutions
apply systems thinking to monitor, analyse, predict and shape the interactions within and between information systems and the impact of these systems on individuals, societies, economies and environments
confidently use digital systems to efficiently and effectively automate the transformation of data into information and to creatively communicate ideas in a range of settings
apply protocols and legal practices that support safe, ethical and respectful communications and collaboration with known and unknown audiences
Types of learning activities
Types of learning activities
Digital Systems: create a network diagram that identifies key components, relationships and transmission media.
Data and Information: in collaborative teams, students investigate an issue, survey a population and visualise data to produce a website that presents their findings.
Creating Digital Systems: students design and develop interfaces and computer programs using an object-oriented programming language.
