Year 1 Digital Technologies Achievement Standard – Australian Curriculum v9
This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 1 Technologies by the end of the year. Teachers can use it to guide assessment design, collect evidence of learning, and ensure planning stays aligned with the Australian Curriculum v9.
What Students Should Know
By the end of Year 2 students show how simple digital solutions meet a need for known users. Students represent and process data in different ways. They follow and describe basic algorithms involving a sequence of steps and branching. With assistance, students access and use digital systems for a purpose. They use the basic features of common digital tools to create, locate and share content, and to collaborate, following agreed behaviours. Students recognise that digital tools may store their personal data online.

How many Content Descriptors support this standard?
9 Content Descriptors support this Achievement Standard (Knowledge and understanding: 1, Knowledge and understanding: 1, Processes and production skills: 1, Processes and production skills: 1, Processes and production skills: 1, Processes and production skills: 2, Processes and production skills: 2).
How does this compare to Foundation?
The Foundation Digital Technologies standard (ASTECTDIFY) covers the preceding year level. Standards build progressively, with Year 1 expectations extending what was introduced in Foundation.
Is this from the latest Australian Curriculum?
Yes, this Achievement Standard is from the Australian Curriculum version 9.0 (AC v9), the most current version published by ACARA.
