ACS understands the vital role that digital technologies play in education. With the introduction of the Digital Technologies Curriculum, ACS is committed to supporting all teachers to drive high quality computing education across teaching practices.
ACS aims to help educators to unpack the F-10 Digital Technologies Curriculum and create lessons plans that are aligned to the curriculum. Our lessons promote skills such as authentic learning, global connections, critical and creative thinking, collaboration and student driven learning.

The Computer Education in Australian Schools Survey has now closed.
ACS would like to thank to all the schools who participated in the Survey and contributed to the picture of Digital Technologies and IT education and teaching in Australia. We greatly appreciate those who also took the time to provide feedback and comment on the Survey.
We are currently analysing the data collected and will be communicating with schools/jurisdictions who requested feedback in the near future.
ACS will be making a submission regarding the Technologies Curriculum to the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) during the public consultation period for the Australian Curriculum Review in mid-2021.
If you have any questions or comments relating to the survey please contact:

Unpack the Digital Technologies Curriculum concepts with ease. ACS created targeted resources that unpack the concepts within each year level (F-10). This means teachers who are new to digital technologies can have a starting point to gather understanding around the topic and is expected at their level.
Expanding on our Teacher information resources, ACS is in the process of creating a suite of entry-level presentations that unpack technology concepts found within the Curriculum.
These provide you with basic concept explanations covering the Digital Technologies Curriculum Descriptions and Elaborations, with an emphasis on Career Pathways in ICT. Look out for those (5-6, 7-8) coming in the first half of 2021.
ACS acknowledges that not all states and territories in Australia are directly using the Australian Digital Technologies Curriculum.
ACS has documents will help you map activities and content descriptions to the curriculum your school is implementing.
