Digital Technologies is a far cry from simply learning how to word process. During our lessons, we aim to develop your child’s knowledge, understandings and skills to ensure that they will:
The Digital Technologies curriculum comprises of two related strands:
- Knowledge and understanding – the information system components of data, and digital systems (hardware, software and networks)
- Processes and production skills- using digital systems to create ideas and information, and to define, design and implement digital solutions, and evaluate these solutions and existing information systems against specified criteria.
Digital Technologies is a far cry from simply learning how to word process. During our lessons, we aim to develop your child’s knowledge, understandings and skills to ensure that they will:
- use computational thinking and the key concepts of abstraction; data collection, representation and interpretation; specification, algorithms and implementation to create digital solutions
- confidently use digital systems to efficiently and effectively transform data into information and to creatively communicate ideas in a range of settings
- apply systems thinking to monitor, analyse, predict and shape the interactions within and between information systems and understand the impact of these systems on individuals, societies, economies and environments
