Digital Technologies Workshop with Guest Speaker 12.08.19

NZ Curriculum Link Te Tupuranga Whakaaro Rorohiko  (Te Reo Computational Thinking) Te Tupuranga Tangata me te Rorohiko  (Te Reo People & Computers) There are two strands:  1. Computational Thinking Key terms: authentic contexts, aware of end users, decomposition, instructions, debugging, correcting, algorithm, binary digits Programme includes: outputs, loops, sequencing, iteration (repeating part of algorithm with a loop). Computational Thinking Progress Outcomes Exemplars 2. Designing & Developing Digital Outcomes Key terms: authentic contexts, end-users, teacher-led (PO 1) or make decisions about creating (PO 2), inputs/outputs, impact on society/citizenship, range of applications Designing and Developing Digital Outcomes: Progress Outcomes Exemplars The Learning Task  Staff then worked in teams to design an engaging  digital technologies challenge, that required students to work together, use algorithm thinking and solve a problem....

Implementing the Digital Curriculum

Digital Technologies in the National Curriculum Workshop Slides 1 Workshop Slides 2   Workshop Slides 3 Progress Outcomes for Year 1-3  Progress Outcome One : Computational Thinking In authentic contexts and taking account of end-users, students use their decomposition skills to break down simple non-computerised tasks into precise, unambiguous, step-by-step instructions (algorithmic thinking). They give these instructions, identify any errors in them as they are followed, and correct them (simple debugging). Progress Outcome One: Designing and Developing Digital Outcomes n authentic contexts and taking account of end-users, students participate in teacher-led activities to develop, manipulate, store, retrieve and share digital content in order to meet technological challenges. In doing so, they identify digital devices and their purposes and understand that humans make them. They know how to use some applications, they can identify the inputs and outputs o...
