ear 7/8 Australian Curriculum: Digital Technology
Implementation year: 2015
Identify
Curriculum
Achievement Standard:
School Name: St Mary’s Catholic College
By the end of Year 7 & 8, students distinguish between different types of networks and defined
purposes. They explain how text, image and audio data can be represented, secured and presented
in digital systems.
In 2015 year 7 & 8 will be undertaking the same unit and in year 2016 year 8 will undertake in an
extension of the same unit.
Students plan and manage digital projects to create interactive information. They define and
decompose problems in terms of functional requirements and constraints. Students design user
experiences and algorithms incorporating branching and iterations, and test, modify and implement
digital solutions. They evaluate information systems and their solutions in terms of meeting needs,
innovation and sustainability. They analyse and evaluate data from a range of sources to model and
create solutions. They use appropriate protocols when communicating and collaborating online.

Unit Overview
Cyber Safety Animation (1 Unit)
Students will through the use of the programming language used in the Scratch
software develop an animation that will broaden their appreciation of the
dangers of the Internet. They will design, develop and evaluate a solution to
educate their fellow students about the Cyber Safety while learning how to write
basic object orientated computer code.
NB. This section will be divided to suit number of units being implemented in
each college.

The following assessment will provide a targeted selection of evidence of student
learning across different assessment techniques and instruments. This evidence
will be collected in a folio to make an overall on-balance judgment about student
achievement and progress at appropriate points, and to inform the reporting
process.
Student will develop a folio of activities completed in class which contain Moving,
Hand Shake, Camera and Maze.
Final assessment will be in the form of an individual project.
Using the programming language in Scratch, students create a 2 minute
animation to highlight one of the following:
Cyber Safety, Online Fraud, Grooming, Phishing, Identity Theft, Cyber Bullying,
Computer Safety and Internet Etiquette.
NB. This section will be divided to suit number of units being implemented in
each college.
