| Description | (May 2009) This unit gives students the opportunity to develop Technological Literacy in a supported learning environment, encouraging students to feel part of the process in technological practice as it develops. There are a lot of practical activities which give students a platform of knowledge and skills to take through to senior levels. The focus can be adapted to suit teacher strengths and student level and learning needs and learning environment. Although this unit focuses on the development of an oversized cookie, it could be easily adapted to meet different opportunities within a context. To quote the new curriculum: This unit introduces students to understanding that “adaption and innovation are at the heart of technological practice. Quality outcomes result from thinking and practices that are informed, critical and creative.” And it can be fun too! Author: Diana Eagle |
