CURRICULUM AREA: Digital Technologies toward Level 8 Achievement Standard Context: Big Data Students explore large data sets and develop an understanding of their structure. They will also explore how data can be sorted. Students use this understanding to develop their own datasets based on a personal interest. The teaching and learning plan focuses on the strand of Data and Information. Context Description: Acquire data from a range of sources and evaluate their authenticity, accuracy and timeliness Analyse and visualise data using a range of software to create information, and use structured data to model objects or events Digital Technologies Level 6 Achievement Example of Indicative Progress towards Level 8 Achievement Standard Digital Technologies Level 8 Achievement Standard Standard By the end of Level 6: In Digital Technologies, indicative progression towards the Level 8 By the end of Level 8: achievement standard may be when students: Students explain the functions of digital Students distinguish between different identify different types of data found in a variety of data sets and system components and how digital types of networks and their suitability in categorise them as strings, dates, numbers, etc. systems are connected to form networks meeting defined purposes. that transmit data. discover that different types of data sort in different ways.
