Year 9 - Digital Technologies: Digital Systems and Networks

Overview

Computational thinking, a problem-solving methodology lies at the heart of this course and the Digital Technologies curriculum. Students develop real world computer science-based skills. Activities may include a module-based course coding, in HTML/CSS, and a project which involves collecting and analysing data to produce information and developing a website based on a relevant topic. Students apply computational thinking as a problem-solving methodology during these activities in their classes.

Units / Topics Types of Assessment
Programming Research Project – data collection, security, and presentation of findings
Algorithms Programming Folio – a sequence of activities designed to extend students logic and programming skills in HTML/CSS
Networks

Future Directions
Satisfactory completion of this subject will provide a sound foundation for students to proceed to Year 10 Digital Technology options.
