Design and Technologies (Foundation to Year 2) app for iPhone and iPad

This professional Application, designed by an Australian Design and Technology Teacher, facilitates students and teachers to complete a Unit of work (design and Make a Toy) that satisfies the Australian Curriculum:Design and Technologies for the Foundation to Year 2 Band.

It cleverly captures (through photographing objects and sketches and also on-board activities) the design journey that the students undertake and then exports it as a simple .pdf file to the teachers email address for assessment and feedback.

Clever differentiation settings enable the Unit of Work to be customised according to student diversity.

Teachers using this Application will satisfy the requirements of the Australian Curriculum that Design and Technologies is to be explicitly taught.

This application also has links to other Learning areas (specifically English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography and The Arts) and Cross-curriculum priorities (specifically Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures, and Asia and Australias engagement with Asia).

Each page contains an info button that has supporting documentation and links to the Australian Curriculum:Design and Technologies website.

Teachers will appreciate having an Application that will assist them teach a Unit of Work for the Australian Curriculum:Design and Technologies.
