Microbits and design and production
How do you use digital technologies in projects that are relevant and meaningful? This is an introductory project for first time users. The amount of curriculum content required to be taught does require a degree of integration to ensure we have time to cover all outcomes. When integrating content it is important to ensure you map all outcomes from all key learning areas to the unit of work. Australian Curriculum has Design and Technology and Digital Technologies . NSW in 2019 will introduce a new K-6 Science and Technology and 7-8 Tech Mandatory . This showcases a method of introducing microbits to a group of year 5 students that have minimal coding experience. This project is below grade level but a start on where they will need to be by the end of year 6. Australian Curriculum Design, modify and follow simple algorithms involving sequences of steps, branching, and iteration (repetition) ( ACTDIP019 ) Implement digital solutions as simple visual programs involving branc
