Digital Technologies

Our students engage in Digital Technologies under the guidance of Mr. Beggs in the Learning Resource Center (LRC) on a weekly basis. This program builds upon the concepts, skills, and processes introduced in the Early Years Learning Framework, with a primary focus on cultivating foundational skills in computational thinking and fostering an awareness of personal experiences through the use of digital systems.

what we teach

Upon reaching the end of Year 2, students will have had the opportunity to create diverse digital solutions through guided play and integrated learning. Activities include tasks such as utilizing robotic toys for map navigation and employing software applications to record scientific data.

In Years 3 and 4, students delve into the exploration of digital systems, understanding their components and peripheral devices like digital microscopes, cameras, and interactive whiteboards. They actively engage in collecting, manipulating, and interpreting data, thereby developing a solid grasp of data characteristics and representation.

As students progress into Years 5 and 6, they deepen their comprehension of the individual components' roles in digital systems for processing and representing data. This phase involves acquiring, validating, interpreting, tracking, and managing various types of data. Additionally, students are introduced to the concept of data states in digital systems and gain insights into how data is transferred between different systems.
