[Yr7-10it] seeking Digital Technologies ideas...Kent

Wed Aug 31 09:16:06 AEST 2016

Thanks for bringing this topic up, Kent and thanks for sharing your unit, James.  I am in the early stage of building up the units for year 7 and year 9.  So far, I have just gathered these resourceful websites and started looking into the various options available.

·         https://www.digitaltechnologieshub.edu.au/secondary-teachers/getting-started

·         http://www.digipubs.vic.edu.au/pubs/digitaltechnologies/digital-technologies-L9_L10_data_and_information

I am happy to share my unit to this group once it is done and also I am looking forward to hearing from others about their work on their units too.

Thanks,

Hi Kent,

I have been trying to get our curriculum polished (From Notes / scraps of paper / etc.) since the end of last term but the general day to day has held it up. I will hopefully be finalising some skeletal documents (with a bit of muscle) before the end of term. At least will be sending out the Yr7/8 Band course. Will post to this mailing list when I do.

Kind Regards,

Hi all..

just doing some forward planning and given we all have the luxury of a new study design for 2017 in digital tech, I figured to put out some feelers.

We are revamping here the 7/8 stream(which I am yet to hear details about) and the 9/10 units(which essentially are 'my' baby.

Looking for ideas, assistance, perhaps some contacts and hopefully(pleez??) some possible curriculum planning docs with whatever you may be able to share with me.

In my dreams if someone has a weekly plan in word or spreadsheet format for 2017 would be fabbo too!

I can pay with TimTams and choccy frogs...(avoiding black cats for bad luck!)

any takers/offerers...

thanks heaps in advance..

Attached is my current strategy to prove I am not going 'cold turkey' with planning...

Maybe this skeleton document will give others some inspiration???

Yeh, I'm asking heaps but we all know the saying.."if you don't ask, you'll never know! "...but be gentle guys and gals out there..
