Year 10 Technologies — AC v9
All 28 content descriptions for Year 10 Technologies in the Australian Curriculum Version 9, grouped by strand — each one links to its own page, and TeachKoala can turn any of them into a complete lesson (your first is free).
Achievement standard (what coverage means)
- •Students independently and collaboratively develop and apply production and project management plans, adjusting processes when necessary.
- •By the end of Year 10 students develop and modify innovative digital solutions, decompose real-world problems, and critically evaluate alternative solutions against stakeholder elicited user stories.
- •They design and validate algorithms and implement them, including in an object-oriented programming language.
- •By the end of Year 10 students explain how people consider factors that impact on design decisions and the technologies used to design and produce products, services and environments for sustainable living.
- •They use advanced features of digital tools to create interactive content, and to plan, collaborate on, and manage agile projects.
- •Students create, adapt and refine design ideas, processes and solutions and justify their decisions against developed design criteria that include sustainability.
- •For one or more of the technologies contexts, students explain the features of technologies and their appropriateness for purpose, and create designed solutions based on an analysis of needs or opportunities.
- •Students acquire, interpret and model complex data with databases and represent documents as content, structure and presentation.
- •They select and use technologies skilfully and safely to produce designed solutions.
- •Students explain how digital systems manage, control and secure access to data; and model cyber security threats and explore a vulnerability.
- •Students apply privacy principles to manage digital footprints.
- •They explain the contribution of innovation, enterprise skills and emerging technologies to global preferred futures.
- •They communicate design ideas, processes and solutions to a range of audiences, including using digital tools.
