[Year 12 SofDev] Victorian Curriculum

[Paragreen, Chris J]

There’s the new Digital Technologies curriculum, which can be implemented into existing subjects (as my school will do), or can be implemented as a stand-alone subject. Separately, Mathematics now focusses also on coding some algorithms used in mathematics. My understanding is that it’s not intended to add new algorithms content per se, but rather to be more conscious of the algorithms that are used. For example, to find the median number in a list, you first have to sort the list. We can do it by hand, but we can also get technology to do it for us ….

Regards,

Chris

My understanding is that they have weaved a bit of technology in most subject areas.

Cheers,

Ben.

A Mathematics teacher has just approached me about the new content that is included in their text for 2017. It’s very interesting that they are including sorting, specifically a selection sort algorithm!

I was straight into Sof Dev mode, flicking through the text and showing visualisations. Sounds like I will be a “special” guest in Year 8 Math next year.

Anyone noticed other subject changes including a link to technology / algorithms?
