#NZCTech day six update

Another response back from a colleague,

This teacher found some of the indications for Tech systems quite confusing and hacked at them a bit to come up with these simpler objectives

• L3: describe a technological system using specialised language and symbols
• L4: explain transformation processes within a system
• L5: explain transformation properties of subsystems

What kind of thing would you do with these?

• At level 3, describe tech systems in terms of input/process/output using diagrams would work ... 
• At level 4 you can use the csunplugged data representation resources to cover transformation processes (transformation of data into images) etc etc
• At level 5 you get into subsystems ... as my junior course set kids up for both digital & electronic I look at things like TV remotes, input (buttons), transformation (encoding of data) and output (IR LED and modulation of light)

This is still work in progress and although I cover it I do not assess it very well. Too much to do ... not enough time.

Going by this, I think I am going down the right track.

If I am having this trouble, and it looks like others are as well, is the technology curriculum actually being taught? Or is it just parts of it?
