Investigating and defining

This Content Descriptor from Year 1 Technologies provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

investigate simple problems for known users that can be solved with digital systems

Elaborations

• investigating internet-based translation tools and how similar digital tools could promote the use of First Nations Australians’ languages or assist communications, for example responding to cultural stories of Australian First Nations Peoples
• investigating familiar and easily understood problems with few complications or steps needed to solve them, for example deciding what to wear by checking the forecast on a weather app
• identifying how digital systems are used to solve problems at school, for example taking attendance or borrowing a library book
• exploring how a familiar problem could be solved using a robot, for example creating a model robot using cardboard boxes and explaining how it could be used to clean up the classroom floor at the end of the day

Year 1 ASTECTDIY12

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.
