Generating and designing

This Content Descriptor from Year 3 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

generate, communicate and compare designs

Elaborations

• brainstorming possible design ideas and discussing these with their peers, for example sketching different ideas for a computer game
• discussing whether the needs identified from the user story are met by generated design ideas, for example comparing design ideas in pairs for encouraging people to recycle
• ideating multiple design ideas and comparing them against user stories, for example as a class, discussing the needs identified from the user story and brainstorming multiple design ideas (accepting all suggestions as possibilities)

Achievement Standard This Supports

Year 3 ASTECTDIY34

Year 3 Technologies Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4 students create simple digital solutions and use provided design criteria to check if solutions meet user needs. Students process and represent data for different purposes. They follow and describe simple algorithms involving branching and iteration and implement them as visual programs. Students securely access and use digital systems and their peripherals for a range of purposes, including transmitting data. They use the core features of common digital tools to plan, create, locate and share content, and to collaborate, following agreed behaviours. Students identify their personal data stored online and recognise the risks.
