Prior knowlede at year 9

I want students that have been exposed to the two new technological areas,
I would like them to recognise a design process and be able to use it to be able to design and develop a digital outcome.
I would like students to be able to use their devices effectively.
I would like students to be able to think computational, to be able to put things into an algorithm and  to be able think about other ways it could be carried out, to be able to understand what selection, iteration and sequence are, that students have been exposed to a variety of languages and experiences using different programming environments.

I would like students to recognize when they are talking to virtual avatars and to be able to recognize when something has been created by software and not a human. 
To be able to start understanding that they can be the innovators and creators of new ideas.
Example - http://nvidia-research-mingyuliu.com/gaugan

These are some of the ideas that I use within my classroom, understanding the ideas of artificial intelligence or machine learning and what impact it will have on the world that they will live in.
Understanding the ethical and social consideration when developing these types of software. 
It was amazing the ideas and the questions students had when shown soul machines and the development that has happened over the past three years. The idea of reflection in the eyes of the webcam to make the avatar not look dead in the eyes and to make it look more real.
Also getting art students to see the ideas and what can be developed with 10 lines of code for contemporary art.
