Elaborations

• exploring digital systems to better understand how they are used to provide communities with essential services, for example looking at the systems and components that allow First Nations Australians in communities classified as remote to watch their favourite television shows
• naming and using digital systems that they interact with at home and school, for example using a touchpad to move the cursor on a laptop, or the keyboard to type a simple message on a tablet

Year 1 Technologies Achievement Standard

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.
