The primary goal of this subject is to provide pre-service teachers with an introduction to the Australian Curriculum Technologies subjects (Design and Technologies and Digital Technologies); ICTs (Information Communication Technology) as a general capability. Students will develop and demonstrate an introductory understanding of the content and processes of technologies education including 'thinking in technologies' (design, systems and computational thinking), coding and robotics. Students will investigate and develop strategies for the safe and ethical use of ICTs in learning and teaching. Students will examine online and digital learning theory and pedagogies through introductory planning experiences that provide primary students with authentic opportunities to create learning solutions.
