Developing technological knowledge

This unit supports you to explore the Technologies learning area and provides opportunities for you to develop the knowledge and skills relevant to the evaluation, appropriate selection and creative use of digital technologies as part of the Technologies learning area. In particular, you will be encouraged to consider how digital technologies can be used to improve teaching, learning and assessment. You will also be encouraged to develop understandings of policy, research and broader influences such as the media as you engage with significant contemporary issues and debates in the Technologies learning area including ethics, design thinking, and computational thinking. While the unit requires you to learn how to use digital technologies, it has been designed to maximise learning for all, regardless of your familiarity with digital technologies.
