Appearances:
Day 1 @ 12:20
Designing a scope and sequence for Digital Technologies (primary/secondary)
The Digital Technologies subject is designed on the fundamental principle that core concepts are introduced and developed progressively as students move through the curriculum. In this talk, we’ll explain how this principle of design lends itself well to a multi-year scope and sequence, and how this can be used to inform decisions about your teaching programs in schools.
Who Should Attend?
- Primary and Secondary teachers (F-10) looking to design learning programs that span multiple year levels in their schools.
- School Leaders, Curriculum Coordinators and ICT Integrators seeking to understand the breadth and depth of the Digital Technologies subject.
Day 1 @ 12:40
School transformation: a framework for developing digital capability (primary/secondary)
The WA Department of Education has embarked on a project to help schools in WA increase their digital capability – for teaching, learning and administrative functions of their schools. In this talk, we’ll present the research behind the development of their Digital Capability Framework (DCF), and run through the ways the DCF tool helps schools evaluate their digital capability, and set strategic goals for developing it further.
Who Should Attend?
- School leaders seeking to understand their school’s existing digital capability, and looking to develop this further as part of their strategic agenda.
- Departmental administrators and leaders looking for tools to help their schools transform their practice to embrace digital tools to improve their effectiveness and productivity.
Day 1 @ 13:00
Workshop - School transformation: a framework for developing digital capability (primary/secondary)
Day 1 @ 13:40
Digital Literacy vs. Digital Technologies: understanding the differences (primary/secondary)
Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum has brought with it updates to both the Digital Technologies subject and the Digital Literacy capability (previously ICT). In this talk, we’ll go through the things that make each of these parts of the curriculum unique, and how this can inform the design of learning programs across all Learning Areas.
Who Should Attend?
- All Primary and Secondary teachers (F-10) – find out how student learning in Digital Technologies can enable rich opportunities in other learning areas
- School Leaders, Curriculum Coordinators and ICT Integrators seeking to understand the role digital literacy plays in the delivery of effective digital integration across Learning Areas.

Day 1 @ 14:40
Prerequisites for an effective Digital Technologies programme (primary/secondary)
Delegates are invited to join the Digital Technologies Curriculum authors to hear a range of strategies for rolling out the Digital Technologies subject effectively in your school. Take this opportunity to find out about some of the resources that have been developed specifically to help your staff and support your students as they meet the challenges of the future.
Who Should Attend?
- School leaders seeking to better understand how they can support the effective delivery of Digital Technologies in their school.
- Primary and Secondary teachers (F-10) looking to make a case to their school leadership teams to increase the profile of Digital Technologies in their school.
Day 1 @ 16:00
STEM: integration strategies for success (primary/secondary)
Many schools choose to deliver Digital Technologies through a combined STEM program, which brings with it real opportunities for rich contextualisation of learning across subjects. It also brings with it significant challenges – how do you ensure every learning area is treated as a first-class citizen in your learning program? We’ll discuss this issue, and present strategies you can use to ensure your STEM program stays on track to deliver on its promise to students.
Who Should Attend?
- Primary and Secondary teachers (3-10) and pre-service teachers looking to understand how to teach digital technologies in an integrated STEM programme.
