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. These contemporary issues and debates centre on social media use, while big data and algorithms form the basis of a critical understanding of ethical and compliance issues, policy and codes of conduct.
