What is the Digital Technologies Curriculum?
The technology learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum has been revised to strengthen the positioning of digital technologies in education from years 1-13. The goal of this change is to ensure that all New Zealand students are given the opportunity to develop as digitally capable individuals.
Not designed as a means to simply teach students how to use digital devices, the new digital curriculum content is about providing students with a developed understanding of the computer science principles and programs that drive digital technologies, enabling them to be innovative creators of digital solutions.
