Tech Week for Educators: Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko curriculum

Mondays 3.30pm to 4.00pm. Computers seem smart but are they really? Find out how they need to be taught something as simple as how to tell if a tomato is ripe.

We are smarter than computers. We can easily tell the difference between ripe and unripe fruit, but computers can’t. Learn how computers can be taught to identify colours and use this ability to check fruit for ripeness. In this series of 30 minute sessions we will provide all the resources you need to run this with your class. Targeted at Years 5-6. To get the most out of this session it would be good to watch this 6 minute video first: https://player.vimeo.com/video/275909876

Tuesday 3.30pm to 4.00pm. Do you know how to pick DDDO projects? Trevor and Melissa will show you how to identify potential DDDO projects within your existing learning programmes.

Trevor and Melissa will support you to identify the components of DDDO to be able to teach the skills and design thinking for weaving into a programme of learning. You’ll be asked to vote on examples taken from Kia Takatū ā-Matihiko Pīkau / toolkits for Trevor and Melissa to work on as an example to identify the skills and design thinking opportunities. There will be time available for you to suggest your own contexts and ideas to brainstorm potential projects. At the end of this session you will be able to identify potential DDDO projects for your learners and how the Pīkau can support you.

This is your chance to ask our experts about the revised Digital Technologies curriculum content and what it means for you in developing your learning programme.

Today we present Tim Bell, a computer scientist at the University of Canterbury. His main research interest is computer science education in primary and secondary schools. He has run the popular “Computer Science Unplugged” project for the last 30 years, and has worked with curriculum development leaders in many countries. He enjoys unpacking technical terminology and concepts for those who are new to the kaupapa.

You can watch our panel on our Facebook page here. 

Thursday 5.30pm to 6.00pm. Chris Hopkins from SouthMED discusses the design process.
