Digital technologies teaching resources

Digital technologies refer to electronic tools, systems, devices, and resources that generate, store, or process data. In education, this includes computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards, software applications, coding platforms, robotics, and online resources. Digital technologies are a core part of the New Zealand Curriculum, particularly within the Technology learning area, where students develop skills in computational thinking and designing digital outcomes. Teaching digital technologies is crucial for preparing students to participate in an increasingly digital society, fostering problem-solving, creativity, and digital literacy. Educators use digital technologies to enhance learning experiences, support collaboration, personalise learning, and connect with global information and communities. Resources with this tag may help teachers integrate digital tools into lessons, teach coding and digital citizenship, or facilitate student-led projects using technology. By embedding digital technologies in the classroom, teachers can support learners to become confident, capable users and creators in the digital world.
