EDP4130
Digital Technologies Resource
The following resource has been created for a year 5 class of students and is based on the content descriptions:
-
Examine how whole numbers are used to represent all data in digital systems (ACTDIK015).
-
Recognising that digital systems represent all types of data using number codes that ultimately are patterns of 1s and 0s (called binary digits, which is why they are called digital systems).
-
Recognising that the numbers 0, 1, 2 and 3 could be represented by the patterns of two binary digits of 00, 01, 10 and 11.
-
Representing whole numbers in binary, for example counting in binary from zero to 15, or writing a friend’s age in binary.
-
-
-
Developing a set of ‘rules’ about appropriate conduct, language and content when communicating online, and using these rules as a basis for resolving ethical dilemmas.
-
Using digital systems to create web-based information taking into consideration referencing conventions, for example creating a blog, website or online learning space for sharing ideas.
-
Through this WebQuest, students will generate new ideas and information and communicate collaboratively in a class blog (ethical, social and technical protocols will all be determined as a class prior to beginning the WebQuest). The last section of the WebQuest will include an assessment task where students will demonstrate their new knowledge of binary numbers.
