The Philosophy of the Y7 & 8 Digital Course:
This Taster DT unit runs for one term, one period a week. If this is the first time you have formally met a computer system, you will learn the basics of saving and retrieving files, working with images and text, laying out a document in Publisher, and creating interactive and clear PowerPoint stories to present and entertain. If you are already competent with these skills, there will be opportunities to expand your skills further. For a more indepth experience of the Digital Universe, you will need sign up for Digital Technologies in Years 9 & 10.
