Year 4
Teaching idea 1: Young inventors
The activities below have been designed to build upon those covered in Year 3. The activities encourage students to analyse information systems which were created and are being used by communities in countries outside of Australia.

Teaching idea 2: Future implications of information systems
The following list of activities/questions are based on Bloom's Revised Taxonomy (source).
Remembering/Understanding or Recall/Reproduction: - List some of the new information systems that have been predicted to exist in the video and who might use them. - Illustrate some of the new information systems that have been predicted to exist in the video. Application or Skills/Concepts: - Choose one of the new information systems and compare it on one which we currently use. - Predict which new information systems you think we will be using within in the next 5 years and explain why. Analysing or Strategic Thinking: - Write a persuasive text (develop a logical argument) to convince the reader that these new information systems will be or will not be in homes within 5 years. Evaluating or Extended Thinking: - Predict/create/design a new form of information system which is not shown in the video which may exist within 10 years. |
