CONTENT DESCRIPTORS
This professional development aims to educate teachers on the effective intergrationg of the follow content descriptors from the Year 5 Technologies Sector:
Processes and Production Skills - Design, modify and follow simple algorithms involving sequences of steps, branching, and iteration (repetition) (ACTDIP019)
Elaborations include:
-
following, modifying and describing the design of a game involving simple algorithms represented diagrammatically or in English, for example software that uses symbols to show decisions, processes and inputs and outputs.
-
experimenting with different ways of representing an instruction to make a choice
-
experimenting with different ways of representing an instruction to make a repetition
-
designing the instructions for a robot, for example a robot vacuum cleaner to clean a room
Knowledge and Understanding - Examine the main components of common digital systems and how they may connect together to form networks to transmit data (ACTDIK014)
Elaborations include:
-
investigating how the internal and external components of digital systems are coordinated to handle data, for example how a keyboard, central processing unit and screen work together to accept, manipulate and present data and information.
