Digital Technologies focuses on building ākonga capability to apply technological ideas within a digital environment. Digital Technologies is a broad subject that covers many domains, for example:
- software programming
- electronic environments and embedded systems
- digital information systems
- digital media.
- As you study, you’ll develop computational thinking skills and the ability to design and develop digital outcomes, as well as learn how computers represent and process data.
- You will learn about the digital design and development processes used to create, test, and evaluate digital outcomes.
- You will practise manaakitanga as you learn to prioritise users in the outcomes you develop, and understand how Digital Technologies outcomes impact on the people who use them.
- You’ll learn fundamental principles and concepts that existing and emerging technologies are built on. This knowledge will allow you to quickly adapt to the challenges and opportunities offered by new technologies.
