Name: Unit 2 - Digital Technologies Years 5-6 Band (V8)Duration: 20 Weeks
Year Level: Years 5, 6
Applicable Learning Areas/Subjects: Digital Technologies
Unit Plan
Data changing our worldIn this unit students will explain how information systems meet local and community needs, represent a variety of data types in digital systems and design and create an interactive spreadsheet and share information ethically.
Students will apply a range of skills and processes when creating digital solutions. They will:
explore information systems, including systems that deliver community information and explain how they meet needs collect, manage and analyse data using a range of software (such as spreadsheets) interpret and visualise data to create information define problems by considering what the need is, what data is required, who the audience is and how they will interact with the solution, and what features need to be
included implement a digital solution that automates the processing of user input and presentation of information to solve a defined problem apply technical protocols such as devising meaningful file naming conventions and determining safe storage locations to protect data and information.

SafetyWhen planning and conducting ICT activities, including online activities, teachers need to refer to and apply all relevant policies and guidelines. Read the supporting learning resource Online safety and collaborating online https://learningplace.eq.edu.au/cx/resources/items/726812f5-1880-4e74-a15e-d93ad5bd0269/0/DiT_YP-10_SLR_OnlineSafety.docx for advice and links to policies and resources.
Throughout this unit, students will require ready access to ICT at a whole-class, small-group and individual level. Such ICT include spreadsheet software, graphing software, graphic calculators or mobile device apps. Note: A mobile device is a portable computing device, typically having a display screen with touch input or a miniature keyboard. Ensure that the use of ICT in the classroom, including mobile devices, complies with DET policy requirements - Advice for State Schools on Acceptable Use of ICT Facilities and Devices http://ppr.det.qld.gov.au/corp/ict/management/Procedure Attachments/Information Communication and Technology/advice.DOCX.

Australian Curriculum
Digital Technologies- – Years 5, 6
Years 5 and 6 Achievement StandardBy the end of Year 6, students explain the fundamentals of digital system components (hardware, software and networks) and how digital systems are connected to form networks. They explain how digital systems use whole numbers as a basis for representing a variety of data types.
Students define problems in terms of data and functional requirements and design solutions by developing algorithms to address the problems. They incorporate decision- making, repetition and user interface design into their designs and implement their digital solutions, including a visual program. They explain how information systems and their solutions meet needs and consider sustainability. Students manage the creation and communication of ideas and information in collaborative digital projects using validated data and agreed protocols.
Content Descriptions

Students represent a variety of data types in digital systems. Students design and create an interactive spreadsheet and share information ethically.Achievement standardIn this unit, assessment of student learning aligns to the following aspects of the achievement standard.By the end of Year 6, students explain the fundamentals of digital system components (hardware, software and networks) and how digital systems are connected to form networks. They explain how digital systems use whole numbers as a basis for representing a variety of data types.Students define problems in terms of data and functional requirements and design solutions by developing algorithms to address the problems.

They explain how information systems and their solutions meet needs and consider sustainability. Students manage the creation and communication of ideas and information in collaborative digital projects using validated data and agreed protocols.Monitoring student learningStudent learning should be monitored throughout the teaching and learning process to determine student progress and learning needs.Each lesson provides opportunities to gather evidence about how students are progressing and what they need to learn next.Specific monitoring opportunities in this unit may include observation, consultation and samples of student work. For example:
create a collaborative analysis of an information system identifying the problem it strives to solve, how data is collected create digital representations of data such as qr codes and check for errors process data in a spreadsheet create visualisations of data using software.
FeedbackFeedback may relate to the development of students' Digital Technologies knowledge, understanding and application of processes and production skills In this unit this may include providing feedback about a student's ability to:
identify community information systems identify the component parts of an information system identify how information systems meet current and future local community needs explain how digital systems represent a variety of data types evaluate information systems using sustainability criteria create organised collections of validated data define data requirements for a problem interpret digital information to make meaning create and communicate digital information.
