Digital Technologies
Digital technologies update
The technology learning area has been revised to strengthen the positioning of digital technologies in The New Zealand Curriculum.
At curriculum levels 6 and above, the progress outcomes set out the learning expected of students engaged in more intensive and specialised digital technologies programmes for NCEA 1, 2, and 3. For this reason, they are directly aligned with levels 6–8 of the New Zealand Curriculum.
See Computational thinking: Progress outcomes and exemplars and Designing and developing digital outcomes: Progress outcomes and exemplars.
When using a progress outcome, you can unpack it by identifying related technology strands and achievement objectives to help you design learning experiences for your students. The indicators of progression and the exemplars or snapshots will also help you decide on a context for learning that will engage your students.
