I would like to integrate my knowledge of the Digital Technologies curriculum to support schools to deliver programs in alignment with the new digital technologies progress outcomes.

I would like to use the content knowledge and understanding that I have from my involvement on the LearnCoach Panel, and from delivering the Digital Technologies programs to Tamaki College students, to support planning that enables learners in Year 7-10 to develop their understanding of digital technologies terminology and content knowledge in preparation for NCEA.

I believe this can be achieved by refining courses and programs in readiness for the new Digital Technologies curriculum, that are easily accessible to learners, and that supports accelerated achievement for learners within the Manaiakalani Cluster and Outreach schools. This includes teaching and learning programs that enable:

• Access to all learning resources 
• Access to regular formative feedback 
• Access to representations of student work that creatively demonstrates understanding of learning 

The following is the mBoT and Robotics Unit Plan that Russel asked me to put together for when Bucklands Beach Intermediate visited Tamaki College last year to observe how the Digital Technologies was being implemented within the Year 7 and 8 program. It's based off the learning activities that Russel had planned for Year 7 and 8 last year.  The Unit Plan includes links to the Digital Technologies Curriculum, links to Assessment and Reporting, as well as information relating to Teaching and Learning.  The Unit Plan is a starting point for planning, as well as reviewing the teaching and learning.



Nilesh Krishna is one of our Maths teachers, who also teaches Robotics to Year 7 and 8, and is teaching some of the students from Panmure Bridge while Bucklands Beach was visiting.
