Technology Essential Learnings
- What are they?
- The ELs identify what should be taught and what
is important for students to have opportunities to
know, understand and be able to do. Components
of the ELs are 1. Learning and assessment focused
2. Ways of Workings 3. Knowledge and
understandings
- How are they organised?
- Students
demonstrate evidence
of learning over time
in relation to:
1. Knowledge and
Understanding
2. Investigating and
Designing
3. Producing
4. Evaluating
5. Reflecting

- What should they know?
- Technology ELs are explored through Ways of Working to develop
Knowledge and Understanding. By end of Yr 3: Students use their
imagination and creativity to make sense of the designed world as they
investigate products used in everyday situations and identify how these
meet needs and wants. (See word doc for all Year levels)

- For Students
- Technology as tools
- Students use technologies to engage with learning situations and • Develop an
understanding of the link between technology use and learning outcomes, how
different technologies influence the product and the learning. • See the place of
technology in peoples work and everyday community life
- Students use technologies to engage with learning situations and • Develop an

technology in peoples work and everyday community life
- Technology as a subject
- Students explore how
technologies have
impacted on local and
national communities.
They investigate and
gain knowledge of:
• Technology as a
human endeavor
• Information, materials
and systems
(resources)
- Assessed by
- Ways of Working- Students ACQUIRE Essential Learnings using the essential processes of Ways of
Working with and exploring technologies. Students who undertake Ways of Working are able to:
• Identify, generate and communicate • Select, plan and sequence • Make, evaluate and reflect
Students can DEMONSTRATE aspects of knowledge and understanding of technology through
multiple Ways of Working with, and exploring technologies. Students develop Ways of Working to
explore: • Design purpose, design ideas and design features • Information, materials and systems
(resources) • Make (manufacture), evaluate and reflect
- Knowledge and Understanding • Students gain knowledge and understanding of technology as a human
endeavour as well as information, materials and systems (resources). • Students build knowledge and
understanding of technology as part of their everyday lives by investigating familiar technologies such as toys,
games, sports equipment, shopping and banking facilities. • Students build knowledge and understanding of the
relationship between the characteristics of products, their purpose and context. Technology Essential Learnings
are accessed through Ways of Working to develop students’ Knowledge and Understanding. Technology
Essential Learnings are assessed using five elements: • Knowledge and Understanding • Investigating and
Designing • Producing • Evaluating • Reflecting

- Technology For Teachers
- Teachers help students identify a range of
technologies that are familiar to them in
their daily lives. Technologies are both
curriculum content (technology as subject)
and learning tools (technology as tool).
- Teacher use technologies to
- • Support an array of teaching strategies to engage students in learning • Develop an array of
teaching strategies to improve students’ learning outcomes • Explore and reflect on the impact of
technology in their community
