PIALBA STATE SCHOOL: DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY YEAR 4 SEMESTER 2 UNIT 2 PLAN
Deep Learning Inquiry Cycle QuestionWhat’s your waste footprint?In this unit students will explore and manipulate different types of data and transform data into information. Students will:
identify and explore a range of digital systems and their use to meet needs at home, in school and in the local community, and use a range of peripheral devices to transmit data
define simple problems and identify needs develop technical skills in using a visual programming language to create a digital solution describe, follow and apply a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithms) in non-digital
contexts and when using a visual programming language implement a simple digital solution that involves branching algorithms and user input
when creating a simple guessing game explain how their solutions and existing information systems, such as learning software,
meet personal, school and community needs develop skills in computational and systems thinking when solving simple problems and
creating solutions.

ways. Collect and manipulate data using simple software to create information. Describe how information
systems are used.
Additional Targeted Teaching Priorities* Identified from previous assessment & post moderation of Semester 1 HASS unit. Were there any literacy / numeracy identified areas?
Feedback Guide/Assessment OpportunitiesSee Feedback that may relate to misunderstandings and commo alternative conceptions (in planning – Pre Moderating)Feedback may relate to the development of students' Digital Technologies knowledge, understanding and application of skills. In this unit this may include providing feedback about a student's ability to: describe how information systems can be used for different purposes describe how digital systems and peripheral devices transmit different types of data in an information system describe how information systems meet personal, school and community needs use a range of information systems to select, search and store different types of information evaluate future uses of information systems and consider sustainability use agreed ethical and social protocols when communicating online recognise different types of data represent data in different ways use software to organise and manipulate different types of data to create information and solve problems use software to present different types of data when creating information and solving problems.

Unit Success Criteria and DifferentiationHow will you know you students have succeeded?
Differentiation: CONTENT PROCESS PRODUCT
and ENVIRONMENT
‘C’ Year Level Achievement Standard – Success Criteria(Refer to GTMJ and relevant content descriptors (AAP) – including prior content – previous levels)
Year 3 and 4 Achievement StandardBy the end of Year 4, students describe how a range of digital systems (hardware and software) and their peripheral devices can be used for different purposes. They explain how the same data sets can be represented in different ways.Students define simple problems, design and implement digital solutions using algorithms that involve decision-making and user input. They explain how the solutions meet their purposes. They collect and manipulate different data when creating information and digital solutions. They safely use and manage information systems for identified needs using agreed protocols and describe how information systems are used.
Recognises different data types. Explains how the same data can be represented in different ways. Safely uses and manages information systems for identified needs using agreed protocols. Describes how information systems are used. Records and manipulates data to create information using software.
‘B’ Standard – Success Criteria(Refer to GTMJ and relevant content descriptors)
Draws or describes a way of representing the lunch rubbish data. Identifies the problem or need the information system addresses. Creates effective data displays using software.
‘A’ Standard – Success Criteria(Refer to GTMJ and relevant content descriptors + above) Effectively uses available lunch rubbish data and gives reasons for representing data in different ways. Suggests changes to the information system that would better meet the need or adapt it to a different purpose. Automates data in a spreadsheet.
Support Plan or ICP Adjusted Content – Refer to ICPStudents:
Tasks: Supported Plan or ICPs Differentiated Assessment
Reporting Sentence: ‘Students working at Year x as per their Support Plan or ICP Plan Tasks and assessments.’
Maker Model Guiding Questions
Content What students need to learn (Select focus questions as required)
Can I choose a familiar context to help make connections or will I scaffold to broaden student world knowledge?
What links can I make to real life? Can I change the context to match student
interests? What prior learning experiences are required? How will I know what students already know?
Which data? Will students complete a Pre-test? Can I skim over some of the content or miss it
completely? How will I extend those students who already
have this knowledge? Will I accelerate students?
Process How students learn (Select focus questions as required)
Can I tier the activities around concepts and skills to provide different levels of support or opportunities to demonstrate deeper knowledge?
Do I need to vary the length of time students require to grasp a concept either by compacting the curriculum or extending the timeframe?
Can I provide opportunities for students to construct and demonstrate knowledge using digital resources and technologies?
Can I scaffold activities or break larger tasks down into smaller tasks?
Can I provide study guides or graphic organisers for targeted students?
Can I modify delivery modes for individuals or small groups?
Can I use peer tutoring?
ProductHow students demonstrate what they know (Select focus questions as required)
To complete the scheduled assessment task will some students require more/less time?
Can students be extended by communicating the information in a more challenging way? E.g. change to authentic audience
Are there students who need the assessment task to be broken down for them?
Will some students need adjustments to the task e.g. having concrete materials at hand or access to digital technologies?
Will some students need feedback provided more frequently or in a different manner?
Environment How learning is structured (Select focus questions as required)
Which of a range of flexible groupings: whole class, small group and individual, best suits this concept and skill set?Have I offered a range of materials and resources -including ICT's to reflect student diversity?Can I vary the level of class teacher support for some students?Would activities outside the classroom best suit this concept? E.g. Other learning spaces within the school, excursions, campsWhat routines can I put into place to assist students in developing independent and group work skills?What class structures can be modified e.g. team teaching or shared teaching and timetabling?Are there additional support provisions from specialist, teacher aide, mentor etc.?Can I provide visual cues for students e.g. content posters or list of instructions for students to follow?
Post Moderation “Every Student Succeeding”
Objective: Develop professional knowledge and practice (Refer to Pialba state School Moderation and Reporting Policy)
Moderation ProtocolsRefer Appendix of Pialba State School Reporting and Moderation (pre-post) School Policy – Social Moderation Norms.
Moderation of Completed HASS Assessment Samples Refer Appendix of School Policy – Making judgements using standards.
Previously agreed criteria (Pre Moderation) A-E given using the GTMJ On balance teacher judgement- poles Start at the C Move up or down according to the evidence in the sample. The achievement standard is the C standard. Compare each student sample to the standard not against other student samples Give an A-E grade for the task This sample will become part of the student’s portfolio of work
Where to next after Moderation Refer Appendix of School Policy – Moderation Reflection Tool. From the moderated samples information can then be used to plan for the next task. Complete in next Technologies Unit or Digital Integration within other KLA’s
