At our school we run Digital Technology as one double period a week. Students are expected to learn theory and produce project work in the application of digital skills.

​

TOPIC ONE: DATA / Word Processing

Students learn how the binary number system determines how data is stored. Students will investigate different file types and file sizes. They will complete a test and create a Quick Guide to common file types.

​

TOPIC TWO: HARDWARE & SOFTWARE / Animation

Students will investigate a range of commonly used hardware and software and be assessed in a test. Students will create an animation of an email sent through various network components.

​
