Background of this websiteThis website is designed to be a resource for teachers to teach two specific content descriptions from Technologies, within the Australian Curriculum (ACARA). One is from Design and Technologies for year 5 students while the other is from Digital Technologies for year 3 students.
For your convenience, this website offers two tabs (located along the top strip of this webpage) that separate the resource for each subject. In the Years 5 Design and Technologies tab you will find resources that will support teaching ACTDEK023 while the Years 3 Digital Technologies tab will have resources to support teaching ACTDIP012. The content description for each of these codes, from ACARA, are found at the bottom of this page, but please note that these content descriptions have been personalised in the provided resources. If you are an overseas user of these resources, you too may be able to personalise these resources to suit your school's curriculum and your class' needs. Both resources are also connected to a Facebook page to make them more accessible to the teaching community. The Facebook pages allow other professionals to comment, add other useful resources and share useful things with other teaching professionals. For Design and Technologies, you will find it HERE and for Digital Technologies, you will find it HERE. Alternatively, you will find it by searching Google or other internet search engines. Feedback can also be left here on this website. The last tab along the top of this website, titled Contact, is where you may email me and leave some feedback or other links to other resources connected to the content descriptions so I can update this website. Hope you find use of this website and if you have any feedback or anything to share, I look forward to hearing from you...
