Year 9

Welcome to Year 9 Digital Technologies!

You’re now part of one of the most exciting subjects in the school — and yes, one of the coolest classrooms too!

I’m looking forward to an awesome learning journey with you this year.

What You’ll Learn

You may already remember my introduction to Digital Technologies, where we talked about what this subject is all about.

During our lessons, you’ll be learning the two key areas of Digitech. Remember, these are:

• Computational Thinking – thinking like a computer

• Designing and Developing Digital Outcomes – using computers to create cool things
  
  

We usually combine these two areas so we can make the best use of our time. That means you’ll be learning how computers and digital devices work while you’re busy creating your own projects. In short: lots of hands-on work, and not too much sitting around just learning theory.
