Defining Technology in the Primary School Setting.
Technology in the Australian Curriculum draft (2013), combines both design and digital in its definition. Societies impact technologies, and technologies impact societies, and therefore one defines technologies as anything created that improves the quality of living, including needs and wants.
Curriculum Aims
Students should be given the opportunity to express their ideas through designing, planning, using strategies, organising and much more. They will become innovative and creative, while learning to be proficient in analysing, critiquing and evaluating a range of technological processes including traditional, present and emerging technologies. Students will engage in the curriculum with confidence and begin to make ethical and informed decisions about sustainability and global matters.
