Curriculum Report – Technology
Focus
Technology is part of the Inquiry curriculum Team.
Classes continue with the use of projectors, cameras, iPads, Apple TV’s and TV screens and general use of computer
The school wide programmes for the year have continued on the same topics of ‘Our School, Our Town, Our Country, Our World”. Within this umbrella the technology programme has a limited scope. In the seniors the focus for term 4 is Circus comes to town and Toys around the World. Within these themes there is a technology focus.
Programme
The Inquiry team have found that there is a need for a planner to show coverage of curriculum areas and strands between year levels, and to ensure students are leaving our school having exposure to a range of these. To bring this curriculum area back into the arena, the inquiry team have created a coverage planner which helps to make teachers aware of the areas and strands that can be covered or focused on.
Assessment Procedures
In our final reports to parents there is space for teachers to comment on what technology students have been doing. There is no formal assessment requirements.
Looking Ahead
We hope to use the planner to gain an understanding of what has been covered and where to next to ensure coverage.
