[Design and Technology] [NewsLetter] Re: Design and Tech at Yrs 7 & 8

Wed Jul 24 02:41:48 UTC 2019

Hi,

PDT is taught SEM based to year 7-8, which then becomes an elective year 9-12.

Dig Tech – currently not being offered in year 7 (due to change soon)

Year 8 Dig Tech – covering coding, excel and python I period per week (50mins) which really isn’t enough.

I am wanting to introduce robotics with year 8 and beyond but timeframe is the problem -  we really need a double (x2 50 mins) or increase the amount of periods per cycle.

This is essential in making the subject successful.

Year 9-12 ICT becomes an elective.

Regards

Dean.

Hi Katrina,

We have students do a rotation of technology during 7 and 8. ICT and Textiles, then Wood and Food.

2 periods of 75 min each per week for a semester.

Then they can which technology all the way through to year 12

Hope this helps,

Hi Katrina

Yr7 & 8 students at Patterson River S C have a Design & Tech class every week, 2 x 49 minutes, for the whole year. Yr8 have the option to do an elective for a semester; there are 2 electives and they can choose both over the year. These are also 2 x 49 min.

Hi everyone,

Just wanting to gather a bit of information on Design &Tech and Digital technologies taught at Years 7 &8 at your schools.

Firstly, do you offer Design & Tech and/or Digital Technologies as a subject at Years 7 and 8.

Secondly, what time allocation is given to the subjects (eg. 3 x 45min periods a cycle).

We are looking to review our Year 7 and 8 program at my school and I would like to see the Technologies firmly embedded so would appreciate any information.

Kind Regards,

Katrina
