Day 2 @ 10:20

Taking action with the technologies curriculum

Too often, technologies are taught as stand-alone subjects with little meaning beyond teaching the content outlined by the Technologies Curriculum. This presentation will provide participants with an understanding of how to incorporate empathy into technologies lessons to take action and tackle the world’s problems. Through an unpacking of the curriculum documents, attendees will gain a better understanding of user stories, problem definition and success criteria and will then be guided through how and where to find meaningful problems to solve, from looking within a school, in the local community and even in other curriculum content areas.
