Year 10 Digital Technologies

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. O'Brien.

Year 10 Digital Technologies

This half-year course will focus on the two strands of the National Curriculum for Digital Technologies

1. Computational Thinking

You will learn the programming language Python, as well as how to write algorithms for planning and then creating your own programs.

2. Designing and Developing Digital Outcomes

You will learn to design and create simple websites using HTML5 and CSS3

By the end of Year 10, your Digital Technological knowledge and skills should enable you to follow a process to design, develop, store, test and evaluate digital content to address a given issue. Throughout this process, you will take into account immediate social and end-user considerations. You will independently decompose a computational problem into an algorithm that you use to create a program incorporating inputs, outputs, sequence, selection and iteration. You will understand the role of systems in managing digital devices, security and application software, and be able to apply file management conventions using a range of storage devices.
