Designing and developing digital outcomes in secondary schools
Secondary schools have been teaching computer science for a while now (since 2011), so we're lucky to have a passionate group of experts and gurus in the DDTA (The Digital Technologies Teachers Aotearoa) association to help share resources, communicate and talk all things computer science. You're invited to become a member if you aren't already.
As part of Techweek NZ, we're also lucky to see how several talented students are using digital technologies to transform how we live; shaping our homes and our workplaces, changing the way that we interact with each other and live our everyday lives. Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko

If it's Digital Technologies at a secondary level you're interested in, then you wont want to miss out on this series of webinars (3) from Technology Online: NCEA level 1 digital technologies achievement standards.
Hear Julie McMahon (HOD Technology, St Hilda's Collegiate School) and John Creighton (HOF Technology, Burnside High School) discuss these revised assessment tools and how they can be utilised in programmes of learning.Part one: The new structure of the technology learning area (14.35in)
Part two: New terminology common to the digital technologies achievement standards (12.26min)
Part three: Changes to specific achievement standards (34.00min)
For more, see Technology Online and professional learning support available. Both Julie and John are part of this community (and DTTA), do you have any questions for them about any of these changes?
