ERO recently conducted a survey of 221 EM schools (with 97% response rate) asking about their awareness, understanding and readiness to implement the Digital Technologies content as part of the Technology Learning area by 2020. You might surprised by the results.
Just under half of the survey group reported that their teachers were starting to engage with the DT content, but only 16% of schools have teachers already working on it. Most of that percentage of schools are planning at classroom level with slightly fewer planning at school-wide level. https://www.ero.govt.nz/footer-upper/news/ero-insights-april-2019/digital-technology-curriculum-content-survey/
There is an expectation that DT is integrated across the curriculum and compulsory to Year 10. How ready is your school? Are you part of the 45% starting to engage or the same as 16% who are currently working on this already? For more support check out:
